FLORENCE
—
The
Siuslaw
Viewfinders Camera Club’s theme for
November was “Automotive.”
Members came up with an interesting
variety of photos.
First place went to Ed Wilent with a
picture of a Mac truck coming out of the
mist. Wilent’s techniques for turning the
mundane into the unusual are brilliant.
Betty Romero took second with a
straight on view of a hot rod with eight
intake stacks.
Third place went to Rudy Gargioni
with a photo of a headlight on a chrome
yellow hot rod.
The next meeting will be Monday,
Dec. 5, in the Bromley Room of
the Siuslaw Public Library, 1460 Ninth
LRP holds auditions for
‘Moon Over Buffalo’ Dec. 17-18
Last Resort Players (LRP) will begin
auditions for Ken Ludwig’s “Moon Over
Buffalo” Saturday, Dec. 17, and Sunday,
Dec. 18, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Florence
Events Center, 715 Quince St.
In the madcap comedy tradition of
“Lend me a Tenor,” the hilarious “Moon
Over Buffalo”centers on George and
Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s.
At the moment, they are playing two
shows in rep in Buffalo, New York, with
five actors.
On the brink of a disastrous split-up
caused by George’s dalliance with a
young ingenue, they receive word that
they might just have one last shot at star-
dom: Frank Capra is coming to town to
see their matinee, and if likes what he
sees, he might cast them in his movie
remake of “The Scarlet Pimpernel.”
Unfortunately for George and
Charlotte, everything that oould go wrong
does go wrong, abetted by a visit from
1 6 • C OAST
their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilar-
ious uncertainty about which play they
are actually performing, caused by
Charlotte’s deaf old stage-manager moth-
er who hates every bone in George’s
body.
Four men, stage ages 20 to 60 years
old, and four women, stage ages 20 to 70
years old, are needed. LRP seeks an
ensemble cast, with a strong leading man
and woman.
There will be parts for senior actors
and tech and stage crew inquiries are wel-
come.
“Moon Over Buffalo” rehearsals start
Sunday, Jan. 8.
LRP will perform “Moon Over
Buffalo” on March 17 through 19 and 24
to 26.

tors Paula Lindekugel-Willis at 701-721-
