OSF actors perform benefit for local non-profits!

[Sherrill Rinehart]

Three well-known Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF) actors*, with the support of three local organizations — 

Southern Oregon Citizens’ Climate Lobby, Southern Oregon Pachamama Alliance and The Crest at Willow-Witt — 

are presenting 'Water Made to Rise' by local actor, director and playwright Barret O’Brien. 

Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit these non-profit organizations.

     *Actors: Barret O'Brien, Rodney Gardiner, and Daisuke Tsuji

           

These performances are part of a month of world-wide action in September designed to elevate the conversation around global warming. The People's Climate March, the Global Climate Summit, New York Climate Week and other events will send the message to local, national and international leaders to commit to building a fossil free world.

Water Made to Rise is the tale of three men trapped in a bar by the rising waters of a never-before-seen flood. As the strangers come to terms with the devastation around them, they wrestle to recall the events that led them to be washed from their homes. Meanwhile, National Guardsmen scour the city for survivors and the men must decide whether to remain hidden in their sanctuary or be taken back to help soothe the anger of the water.

“Climate change wants to be dramatized,” says director and playwright O’Brien. “It’s so big, so encompassing, that distilling it to a story, between people, in a place, brings immediate electricity and the utmost urgency to the issue. Theater provides an avenue through which to feel the solutions.”

Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) is a non-profit, nonpartisan organization focused on national policies to address climate change. Its respectful, nonpartisan approach to climate education is designed to create a broad, sustainable foundation for climate action across all geographic regions and political points of view.  Any money raised from this benefit will help volunteers from the Southern Oregon CCL chapter travel to Washington DC for climate change education, lobby training and participation in meetings with Members of Congress.

Donna,

I received the email that you sent to Sherrill Rinehart and me.  I am somewhat confused, for I work on Mondays into the evening so I have no intention of attending this.  I hope you have success in finding a ride.  Warmly, Jim Stumbo

Hi Marilyn, Donna and Sherrill,

I have responded earlier to Donna's appeal for a ride, and said I would be glad to go with her to Willow-Witt (including driving) although I haven't heard from her yet.

I think we all want to help her achieve her goal to attend both performances. Perhaps she wants to get a group of people together. Let's ask her...

Donna,

You have several fairy godmothers who want to make your wish to go to both performances come true. I would love to go with you to Willow-Witt because I belong to their goat herd and love seeing the goats...in addition to seeing the performance. I am glad to help you order tickets if you tell me how many to order and who they're for, assuming all will be going together, carpooling. Perhaps you would prefer to go with Marilyn, and that's fine, too.

Maybe Marilyn would be interested in driving you to the September 24th performance at the Ashland Armory. Her phone number is 541-951-6368. It might be best if you called Marilyn and me so we can help make it possible for you to attend both performances.

I can be reached at 650.704.8343.

Thank you, Donna!!!

One of your fairy godmothers,

Donna (Swanson)

Hello, Sherrill, 

Ninety-five percent chance I will be in town and would like to work the Sept 30 Willow-Witt function on behalf of CCL. Would my services that day be of benefit?

Mardi
