Spine Tingler Sets the Stage for the Scariest Season 

Ten Fifteen Productions kicks off the fall season with this suspenseful adaptation of Susan Hill’s popular gothic novel, The Woman in Black. Directed by Mick Alderman, this Victorian Era tale will get audiences in the perfect mood for Halloween. Jill Norris, Jayne Osborn, Conner Price, and Susi Brown round out the crew.

About the Show: The framework of this spine tingler is unusual: a lawyer hires an actor to tutor him in recounting to family and friends a story that has long troubled him concerning events that transpired when he attended the funeral of an elderly recluse. There he caught sight of the woman in black, the mere mention of whom terrifies the locals, for she is a specter who haunts the neighborhood where her illegitimate child was accidentally killed. Anyone who sees her dies! The lawyer has invited some friends to watch as he and the actor recreate the events of that dark and stormy night. A classic of the genre.

The Friends of Warrenton Community Library invite you to attend "Library After Dark" -- a monthly discussion series featuring local and PNW authors. This month features author Peter Marsh on Saturday, October 12 at 4 p.m. Peter will share more about his research and writing process, read excerpts from his work and answer audience questions. Peter Marsh was born and raised in Greenwich in SE London. He has lived in Oregon for over 50 years and began sailing a 20’ micro cruiser he designed and built on the Columbia River in 1981, followed by longer summer voyages including Olympia to Glacier Bay and back twice, crossing Lake Superior, and down the Oregon Coast. Peter began reporting about yachts and commercial craft for the Freshwater News boating paper and in the 1990s, became acquainted with Larry Barber, the last marine editor of the Oregonian who had been the leading reporter covering WWII ship building in the region. When Barber died, his widow gave Peter her husband’s archives, but it was another 20 years before he finally began to seriously study them with the goal of producing a book to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in 2020. "Liberty Factory: The Untold Story of Henry Kaiser's Oregon Shipyards" is the first book to review the region’s forgotten history of wartime shipbuilding, which employed over 180,000 people. This program is free to attend and is sponsored by the Friends of Warrenton Community Library.
