what's
happening
After months of scouring, scrubbing
and then completely refurbishing
the former Asian market at 1075
Charnelton, right next door to Ring
of Fire, the hard-working troupe
Phoinix Players at last have cut the
ceremonial ribbon and opened the
doors to Eugene’s latest addition
to the theater community. Red
Cane Theatre inaugurates its fi rst
season — its fi rst everything, in
fact — with a spectacular dinner-
theater musical written by Red Cane
director Mary Hulls and entitled
Silver Spurs Saloon. A sexy, snappy,
hayseed romantic comedy in the
tradition of big Broadway musicals,
this production features heaps of
whiplash dialogue and a wagon
load of rip-snortin’ song-and-dance
numbers delivered by swaggering
cowboys and wised-up cowgirls.
Running now through Aug. 18, with
7 pm shows Thursday (senior &
student discount night) through
Saturday; limited Ring of Fire food
& drink menu available for order
during shows; $14-$18; for further
info, visit theredcanetheatre.
yolasite.com or call 541-556-4524.
