TILLAMOOK — The Tilla-
mook Association for the
Performing Arts will open
the dramatic comedy “The
Octette Bridge Club” on
stage Friday, Aug. 26.
In the play, written by P.J.
Barry and directed by Bren-
na Sage, eight sisters of Irish
descent meet to play bridge
and gossip on alternate Fri-
day evenings in Providence,
Rhode Island.
Act 1 takes place in
October 1934, as the sisters
pose for a photograph for
the local newspaper. Act 2
takes place 10 years later
during a Halloween bridge
party, where each sister acts
out her costume’s persona.
The emotionally distraught
youngest, who does a hilari-
ous Salome belly dance, has
just gotten out of a sanitari-
um and knows that she must
cut the bonds to her smoth-
ering family and strike out
on her own.
Don’t miss this sentimen-
tal comedy about American
life in a bygone era.
The cast of “The Octette
Bridge Club” includes TAPA
veterans Caryn Backman,
Karen Downs, Sandra
Koops, Kimber Lundy, Mar-
garet Page, Ben Ruderman,
