‘And Then There Were None’
Th e Tillamook Association
for the Performing Arts will
hold auditions for its upcoming
production of Agatha Christie’s
classic whodunnit “And Th en
Th ere Were None,” this Saturday,
Feb. 15.
Written in response to the
dark days of the Second World
War, the play was a smash hit in London
and Broadway and has been performed
consistently ever since.
Ten strangers are summoned to a remote
island. All that the guests have in common
is a wicked past they’re unwilling to reveal
and a secret that will seal their fate. For each
has been marked for murder. As the weather
turns and the group is cut off
from the mainland, the bloodbath
begins and one by one they are
brutally murdered in accordance
with the lines of a sinister nursery
rhyme.
Director Chris Chiola is
looking to fi ll 11 roles, with parts
available for men and women of any
age; as well as volunteers for stage and tech
crew.
Saturday’s auditions will run from 2 to 4
pm in the Copeland Room at the Tillamook
County Library at Th ird and Stillwell.
For more information or to request a cast
listing, contact Chiola at 503-812-7036 or

Gems of the Ocean was the brainchild
of Yachats artist and retired Polly Plumb
Productions board member Ruth Bass. An
art quilter, Bass has been active in the art
quilt world and has shared her knowledge
and contacts to bring high-caliber shows to
Yachats.
“One of the goals of the show is to
introduce art quilting to both locals and
visitors to the area,” Bass said. “We thought
the
ocean theme would
allow artists to explore the beauty of this
area and make interpretations based on their
own whimsy. We’re delighted to bring this
type of show to Yachats and we welcome
everyone to experience an art quilt show.”
