Furiously fast and funny, the cast requires a variety of actors ranging from the Pirate King and his apprentice to the four daughters of the Sergeant of the Police. In addition, this work accommodates a large chorus. For audition purposes, pre- pare approximately 32 meas- ures of a Broadway classical L L E E O O M M L L I I D D 3 A or operetta music that will give a good example of singing abilities. “Sing to show off your vocal technique and skills,” said musical artistic director Laura Merz. “It’s going to be a campy production.” “Pirates” is directed by Leah Goodwin, who most recently directed “Les Miserables.” Assistant director is Mary Conley. Music direc- tion is by Jennifer Weier. Production dates are Nov. 4- 6, and 11-13, on the main stage at the Florence Events Center. Anyone unable to attend auditions for valid reasons should call Leah Goodwin at 541-852-1643 to arrange another time.

Sixth annual Power of Florence gearing up for July The sixth annual Power of Florence, a city-wide day ded- icated to volunteering and giv- ing back, will be held this year on July 16. The day, officially proclaimed by the Florence City Council, was started six years ago by Kaylee Graham, now 16 years old. “I envisioned this day to be like the Rhododendron Festival, with events happen- ing all around Florence,” says Graham. “Only this day, all of the events help make a differ- ence for our community by fundraising, collecting items for the needy or beautifying our community.” Over the course of five years, the Power of Florence has had more than 6,000 par- ticipants, 69 service projects have been completed, about $36,400 has been raised for nonprofits in our area, and more than 12,000 pounds of COURTESY PHOTO Participants in last year’s Power of One event celebrate. food has been collected for Florence Food Share and the Florence Area Humane Society.
