Hearing Phyllis tell the story of the quilt helps make it come alive.” As part of the museum’s col- lection, the quilt will be docu- mented by the Oregon Quilt Project and listed in the Nation- al Quilt Index.

Auditions will be held at the theatre, lo- cated at 700 Village Drive in Cottage Grove. Stone reshaped the original 1946 classic to create a Wild West show-within-a-show that frames the ageless “Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better” love story of Annie Oakley and rival marksman Frank Butler. A large cast of over 20 actors (men, women and children) is needed for this production di- rected by Tony Rust. “Annie Get Your Gun” will run for 15 per- formances from April 8-May 1. These auditions are open to any interested actors and no ap- pointment is necessary. Potential cast members should come pre- pared to sing about 18 bars from a classic American musical and a section of “There’s No Busi- ness Like Show Business.” Ac- tors should also come dressed and ready for a short dance audition. Additional details are available at www.cottageth- eatre.org or by calling Cottage Theatre at 541-942-8001.
