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.

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.
