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.

‘TWELVE ANGRY JURORS’
PERFORM IN ILWACO
ILWACO, WASH. — “Twelve
Angry Jurors,” an adap-
tation of Reginald Rose’s
classic “Twelve Angry
Men,” will run at the River
City Playhouse (127 Lake
St. S.E. 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.
