JUNE 22, 2017 // 3 President Lincoln speaks at Seaside church SEASIDE — Walter Trumbull, a stage actor, will be performing in his one-man show as Abraham Lincoln 7 p.m. Friday, June 23, at Seaside United Methodist Church. Trumbull began performing as the 16th president in 2007 and has taken the role throughout the North Coast and to Portland. “Often I am confronted by the idea that today’s America is more sophisticated and more modern than people of other times. But, as I like to tell it, you can learn a lot from the past,” he said. Trumbull’s presentation com- prises a chronological fi rst-per- son narrative of Lincoln’s life, from the Great Emancipator’s humble origins through his try- ing years in the White House. “His presentation is often hu- coast morous while at the other times extraordinarily moving,” the or- ganizers said, adding: “However, Trumbull’s real performance comes from what you cannot see, his heart. He loves to share the power of Lincoln’s words and actions, and the love Lincoln had for his nation, his family and all people everywhere.” A $10 donation is suggested; proceeds go to the church. There will be time after the performance to meet and take pictures with Trumbull dressed as Lincoln. For program information, contact Trumbull at 503-739- 0037. For other inquiries, contact Seaside United Meth- odist Church at 503-738-7562. The church is located at 241 N.

Ilwaco) 7 p.m. Fri- day and Saturday, June 23 and 24; 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 30 and July 1; and 2 p.m. Sunday, June 25, and Sunday, July 2. Stay after the July 1 show for the Independence Day Fireworks Spectacular. Directed by Ed Ahlers and performed by the Pen- insula Players of Ilwaco, the play tells the story of a murder trial in which 12 jurors from wide-ranging backgrounds must decide the fate of a 19-year-old ac- cused of killing his father. “During discussions, facts and motives some- times take backstage to personal feelings and goals. As the emotions build, we slowly learn more about the jurors, and the differenc- es in social upbringing,” according to a plot descrip- tion. “Finally, a decision is reached. But is it the correct decision? Or just one juror’s game?” The play — exciting, thought-provoking, intense and heartfelt — has been the benchmark of court- room plays since it was fi rst produced in the mid-20th century, organizers wrote. “It reminds us of the meaning behind ‘innocent until proven guilty’ and the privileges that comes from a democracy that we expe- rience here in America.” Tickets are $10. Limited tickets will be available at the playhouse box offi ce on performance days. Pre-sold tickets are available at Okie’s Thrift- way in Ocean Park; Stormin Norman’s in Long Beach; Olde Towne Cafe in Ilwaco.
