JULY 6, 2017 // 7 Trail’s End offers camp, watercolor class GEARHART — Kathy Karbo, Trail’s End Gallery’s featured artist for August, is teaching her annual Kids Camp from Monday, July 17, through Friday, July 21. The camp’s theme is “Secrets and Treasures of the Ancient Forest.” To enroll a child, contact Karbo at kathykar- bo@comcast.net. Karbo is an accomplished mixed media and 3-D artist craftsperson and teacher for 40 years, the gallery said. In her body of work, Karbo has con- sidered several issues: the circumstance of refugees; the relationship between desperation and hope; and the power and repair community can offer. “She has been contemplating the fact that we are all sojourners in this life. Movement is central to life’s journey … forever casting humanity into conflict, discovery and adaptation,” the Trails End Art Association said a release. Karbo teaches at Trail’s End Art Association, Sitka Center for the Arts and Ecology, Newport Paper Arts Festival and Oregon Libraries and Schools. Beside the gallery of fine art, Trail’s End — located at 656 A St., one block south of Pacific Way — has a gift shop with objects in wood, fused glass and 3-D plus many beautiful note cards. A few slots may be open for ac- claimed painter Judith Morris’ watercolor class, Monday, July 24, through Thurs- day, July 27. Email Jane McGeehan at janem270@ gmail.com for information.

Auditions for production of ‘The Birds’ held in July ASTORIA — The Astor Street Opry Company will hold open auditions in July for Daphne du Maurier’s “The Birds,” a production directed by Sheila Shaffer. Auditions are slated for Monday and Tuesday, July 24 and 25, at the company playhouse at 6 p.m. both nights. The play calls for four players: two men and two women 17 and older. “Daphne du Maurier’s short story, also the basis for Alfred Hitchcock’s classic film, is boldly adapted by Conor McPher- son — a gripping, unset- tling and moving look at human relationships in the face of societal collapse,” a plot description by Samuel French, the publishing company, reads. “In an isolated house, strangers Nat and Diane take shelter from relentless masses of attacking birds. They find relative sanc- tuary but not comfort or peace; there’s no electrici- ty, little food, and a nearby neighbor may still be alive and watching them. “Another refugee, the young and attractive Julia, arrives with some news of the outside world, but her presence also brings discord. Their survival be- comes even more doubtful when paranoia takes hold of the makeshift fortress— an internal threat to match that of the birds outside.” The Astor Street Opry Company is a not-for-prof- it 501(c)(3) community theater organization. The show runs 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 6 and 7; Friday and Saturday, Oct. 13 and 14; and Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 15. On Fridays and Saturdays, the ticket office opens at 6 p.m. For more information, contact Shaffer at sheilas- haffer@centurylink.net. For tickets, call 503-325- 6104.
