FRAA Poetry Slam wows crowds at FEC
LRP to hold auditions for
‘Pirates of Penzance’
Last Resort Players urge
area residents to audition for
the November production of
Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pirates
of Penzance.”
Auditions are Saturday,
May 14, at 10 a.m. and
Sunday, May 15, at 2 p.m., at
the Class Act Theater on the
corner of Kingwood and
Rhododendron.
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

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

food has been collected for
Florence Food Share and
the Florence Area Humane
Society.
Many organizations already
have plans to be a part of this
year’s Power of Florence. As
always, the day will officially
start with a “Power Walk”
along the streets of Old Town
Florence.

Fluid Levels: There are lots of things to check but
don’t skip over any of them: engine oil, transmission
fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze/coolant and, yes, even
windshield washer fluid. Commonly a brake fluid
flush can get your sluggish brakes working as
good as new and because this is recommended
once a year there is no better time to get it done.
