Charlize Theron gets back behind the wheel for ‘Fast 8’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Mad Max: Fury Road” star Charlize Theron is ready to rev up those engines once again in the eighth installment of the “Fast and Furious” series. Universal Pictures announced the casting Thursday on social media. Theron, who also showed off her car skills in “The Italian Job,” will join stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez in “Fast 8,” set for release on April 14, 2017 with “Straight Outta Compton” director F. Gary Gray at the helm. The announcement teased that Theron’s character will be the “crew’s greatest adversary ever,” although no plot has been of¿cially announced. Bilingual play opens doors to talk about healthy relationships By TAMMY MALGESINI East Oregonian Amidst the backdrop of urban Latin hip hop music, rhyme and choreography, a bilingual play presented by Teatro Milagro reveals the shocking truth of how quickly and easily teens are seduced into the world of sex traf¿cking. “Broken Promises” features four teens living on the edge. Desperate for money, they gamble their lives on Internet porn and prostitution. The play is based on true stories about teenagers lured into prostitution. Written by Olga Sanchez and directed by Francisco Garcia, “Broken Promises” will be presented Wednesday, April 13 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium at Pendleton High School, 1800 N.W. Carden Ave. Although there is no nudity or graphic scenes onstage, the performance is recommended for teenagers and up due to the mature content. There is no admission charge. In addition, a “Healthy Relation- ships,” workshop is set for Thursday from 6-8 p.m. at Pendleton Center for the Arts, 214 N. Main St. Admission is also free. Participants will learn about the ¿ve circles of Photo contributed by Russell Young Ajai Terrazas Tripathi, Giovanni Alva, Monica Domena, Shenekah Telles, Teatro Milagro actors from the bilingual play “Broken Prom- ises.” With the purpose of fostering conversations about at-risk behaviors, the group will present a free performance April 13 at Pendleton High School. sexuality, relationships and commu- nication. While in the area, the cast members will lead a “Healthy Rela- tionships” residency — teaching in health, drama, language arts and English language development classes at PHS and Nixyaawii Community School. Teatro Milagro’s “Healthy Relationships” workshop uses popular education methodology to facilitate interactive discussions regarding health and relationships. Having received instruction through the Multonomah County Health Department, the facilitators seek to provide a safe environment for an open dialogue with teenagers. The program, which opened in January in Portland, is on a national tour that runs through November. Reviews have been favorable, saying the production is tasteful, accurate and powerful. Dañel Malan and Jose Eduardo Gonzalez, co-founders of the Port- land-based Teatro Milagro, seek to provide culturally appropriate arts education and enrichment programs that build cultural appreciation and help bridge communities. In 1995, Milagro produced “En Este Valle de Lágrimas,” a Spanish language AIDS education play for the Washington County Health Department. Since then, Milagro — in partnership with various health and social service agencies — has produced more than dozen public health plays related to breast cancer, smoking and LGBTQQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Ally) health and wellness.
