“Get ready for a show unlike anything that you’ve seen. Our shows
are very interactive and audience driven. We will be down in the
crowd, we will bring people up on stage, we will be showing a lot
of skin, and we will have something for everyone. This will be a
fantastic show fi lled with oohs, aahs, and things that will blow
your mind. This is NOT your regular drag show, this is the Caravan of
GLAM.”- Justin Buckles/Ecstacy Inferno – Creators/Producers

will take the stage at 8 p.m.,
performing scenes from
“Julius Caesar” and “Shake-

“Romeo and Juliet,” “As

with the same issues.
Admission for the entire
evening is $10 with students
admitted for free. Tickets are

The annual celebration in

School in the 1920s.
In the OSF School Visit
Program, teams of actors tour
schools throughout Oregon,
Washington, California and
Kansas from October through
December, engaging students
from diverse backgrounds
through live performances
and active workshops.
Bowmer created the
School Visit Program in
1971 as a way to reach a
wider audience, and over
the past 45 years OSF has
reached over 2 million stu-
dents in over 7,000 schools
in 12 western states.
Hear the country music of Loretta Lynn
ASTORIA — A group of
Oregon musicians paying
tribute to country music leg-
end Loretta Lynn will make
a stop in Astoria during
their fall tour of the Oregon
Coast.
Fronted by Portland
folk-country songstress
Mary Rondthaler, the five-
piece band will perform
“Hey Loretta!” —two
45-minute sets featuring the
songs of Lynn at Clastop
Community College’s
Performing Arts Center. The
shows take place at 7p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 12 and at 2
p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13.
Tickets are $15 and are
available in advance at the
Rusty Cup, located at 1213
Commercial St., and online at
www.brownpapertickets.com
Also known as the Coal
Miner’s Daughter, Lynn
wrote many of her own
songs and has been dubbed
the Queen of Country Music
throughout her five-decade
career. In 1972, she was the
first woman to be nominated
and named Entertainer of the
Year by the Country Music
Association. She is the only
woman to have won the title
of CMA Artist of the Decade
for the ’70s.
Rondthaler has spent
many years honing her craft
around the Portland music
scene. She has performed
and recorded with George
Chudacoff, Succotash, The
Sagebrush Sisters and The
Rocky Butte Wranglers.
She can be seen regularly
singing country and western
songs with the Wranglers at
nightclubs around the North-
west, as well as with The
Sagebrush Sisters, a three-
piece cowgirl swing band.
Rondthaler is known for
her knack of picking great
unknown songs from the
repertoires of many legend-
ary country music artists.
The band features three
graduates of Oregon State
University who studied
music under Professor Neal
Grandstaff, widely known
for his lifelong contribution
to music performance and
education. They are Justin
Schepige on bass, Tommy
Brownson on drums and
Erik Crew on lead guitar.
Joining them on pedal
steel guitar will be veteran
Nashville touring pro and
session player Gary Thors-
en, who toured with Lynn’s
twin daughters, The Lynns.
He has worked for many
other country music greats,
including Tanya Tucker.
