Riverbend Players present Hearts for the Arts dinner to raise
‘The Curious Savage’ play funds for Willapa Heritage Foundation
NEHALEM — Members
of the Savage family are
the center of “The Curious
Savage,” The Riverbend
Players’ first production
of the 2017 season at the
North County Recreation
District’s Performing Arts
Center, located at 36155
Ninth St.
A heartwarming comedy
written by John Patrick and
directed by Suzanne Jelineo,
“The Curious Savage”
chronicles the adventures
of Mrs. Ethel P. Savage.
To prevent her from spend-
ing what her stepchildren
consider their inheritance,
they have their stepmother
committed to The Cloisters.
The Cloisters is not an asy-
lum but a home to several
eccentric gentle people, who
are referred to as guests, not
inmates.
“It’s a delightful sto-
ry,” director Jelineo said.
“It shows people working
together and living together
— and accepting each other.
The play reminds us, in a
warm and heartfelt way, that
we each are unique and need
to be appreciated by others.”
The play runs three
Saturdays — Feb. 11, 18
and 25 — and two Fridays
— Feb. 17 and 24. Evening
performances start at 7 p.m.
There are two Sunday mat-
inees at 2 p.m. Feb. 12 and
26. Doors open 30 minutes
before the play starts.
Tickets are $15 and can
be purchased at the door or
at the NCRD office. Call
503-368-7008. Children
under 12 are free.
Opening night will
include a reception at 5:45
p.m., upstairs in the NCRD
kitchen, with free refresh-
ments with the cast.

clude salad with Cajun ranch
dressing, chicken and andou-

tion and a raffle table, where
attendees will find many
individual art pieces for sale,
as well as gift certificates and
baskets filled with goodies.
