Ten Fifteen Productions pivots once again with The Taming.

Astoria, OR - Ten Fifteen Productions is once again proving its agility since a storm caused significant damage to its Astoria Odd Fellows building home last December. Due to a number of outside factors, the theater will be reopening with a different production than planned. Theatre enthusiasts should mark their calendars for May 29th for opening night of The Taming by Lauren Gunderson. Director Katherine Lacaze leads a powerhouse cast and crew in this political farce that takes the place of the originally scheduled production of Sensitive Guys.

In an email to patrons, executive artistic director, Danyelle Tinker, stated “Changing scripts after the season has been planned and announced is not something I did lightly; but fear you not, dear friends, as the new show promises to be the hilarious reset we all need right now. The Taming is a laugh-a-minute while still touching on some important topics facing our country and government. Frankly, if I had read this script a year ago, it would have been a planned part of the season to begin with.”

About the show: Tweetering, panda shrews, and undying giddiness for James Madison – what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant? In this hilarious, raucous, all-female “power-play” inspired by Shakespeare‘s Shrew, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator‘s aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Here‘s lookin‘ at you, America.

About the event Join us for a meaningful community gathering at Sunset Beach as we unveil a new Marine Debris Display created in partnership with marine debris artist Elizabeth Roberts, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Chinook Indian Nation, and Oregon Shores.

June 6th, 2025 from 2:00pm-4:30pm at Sunset Beach State Park at the Fort to Sea Trailhead parking lot

This special event honors the deep connection between coastal ecosystems, marine life, and the cultural and ecological importance of salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest. The display highlights the growing impacts of marine debris on our ocean and shorelines, while also celebrating the resilience of these environments and the communities working to protect them.

Event Schedule and Details: At 2pm, please join us for the formal program with a welcome and remarks from project partners and the official unveiling of the Marine Debris Display. Then from 2:30 to 4:30 pm, guests are invited to stay for a relaxed social hour to connect with community members, partner organizations, and fellow coastal stewards. All attendees will be entered in a free raffle to win an annual National Parks Pass and enjoy locally-sourced appetizers and refreshments. The event is open to the public and welcomes all. We hope you’ll join us in recognizing the importance of caring for our coast and the role each of us can play in keeping it clean and vibrant for generations to come.

Do you have old photos lying around the house but don’t know what to do with them? Maybe you have thousands of photos on your phone and haven’t been able to print them yet? In this workshop, CRMM Registrar Meg Glazier-Anderson will share with participants about the importance of thinking intentionally when preserving your family’s history. The course will highlight best practices, common pitfalls, and tips and tricks that help historic photos and documents stand the test of time. Participants are encouraged to bring one item from their family history that they would like to discuss in the class.

Pop Quiz! Plato and Pizza is a playful friendraiser with trivia, pizza, drinks, and good company. Bring a team of six, or come solo and join a table of future legends. Each ticket includes event tokens to use on food, drinks, or trivia extras during the night. Costumes are encouraged! Proceeds support Philosofarian’s free public philosophy programs in Clatsop County and help more people discover what we do.

The Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival has been a tradition on the North Coast of Oregon for over fifty years. The Festival takes place on the 3rd full weekend of June. The festival embodies the rich cultural heritage that was transplanted to the Astoria, Oregon region by emigrants from the Nordic lands. In the Pacific Northwest they found the same bounteous seas and forests as in their native lands and the demand for their skills at managing them. During the three days of the festival, over a dozen Nordic musical, dance, and theater groups are scheduled to entertain. Retail booths will offer handcrafts, Nordic import items, and traditional Nordic foods. It is not necessary to be Scandinavian to enjoy this festival.

The Liberty Theatre proudly presents a unique and unforgettable classical chamber music experience with Chatter PDX.

The evening centers on Mozart’s Serenade No. 10 in B-flat major, K. 361 — the iconic Gran Partita. One of the most celebrated works ever written for wind ensemble, the Gran Partita unfolds across seven expansive movements. Scored for an extraordinary ensemble of 13 instruments—featuring pairs of oboes, clarinets, basset horns, bassoons, four horns, and double bass—this expansive and richly textured work is celebrated as one of the greatest achievements in wind chamber music.

Beginner: No previous woodworking experience necessary and all tools will be provided.

The Flavel House Museum Invites Families to a Free Weekend of Play
Old-Fashioned Fun & Games on the Lawn

Pack the kids, bring a blanket, and come play at the Flavel House Museum. Join us for “Old-Fashioned Fun & Games,” a free, family-friendly weekend on the museum lawn Saturday and Sunday, June 20–21, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.

This weekend is all about old-school outdoor play—running, laughing, and trying something new together. Families can jump into classic lawn games like badminton and croquet, then cheer each other on during crowd favorites including sack races and a pie-eating competition. Kids can also test out vintage favorites like hoop-and-stick, ball-and-cup, stilts, and rope-making. Prizes will be awarded throughout the day.

Grab a corn dog (yes—Victorian-era families did, too) and sip some lemonade while kids see how children in the past made their own fun.

The Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival has been a tradition on the North Coast of Oregon for over fifty years. The Festival takes place on the 3rd full weekend of June. The festival embodies the rich cultural heritage that was transplanted to the Astoria, Oregon region by emigrants from the Nordic lands. In the Pacific Northwest they found the same bounteous seas and forests as in their native lands and the demand for their skills at managing them. During the three days of the festival, over a dozen Nordic musical, dance, and theater groups are scheduled to entertain. Retail booths will offer handcrafts, Nordic import items, and traditional Nordic foods. It is not necessary to be Scandinavian to enjoy this festival.

Join us for a week of music, connection, and celebration on the beautiful Oregon Coast at the first-ever Camp Bluegrass Pride! An inclusive, welcoming, and safe camp for queer roots musicians and allies. Everyone is welcome.

The camp features multiple tracks for different proficiency levels in:
Fiddle • Guitar • Banjo • Voice • Mandolin • Upright Bass • Songwriting

Featuring instruction by:

Cody Bauer • Keith Billik • Kat Bula • Noa Eve • Kaden Hurst
McKain Lakey • CJ Lewandowski • Mandy Lynn • Taylor Shuck

Developed to design ships, scale half-hull models were only invented in the 1790s. They provided a quick and efficient method for transferring measurements from the model to the full-sized vessel. In this class you will learn the principles of how half-hull models were made. You will use templates to create the individual lifts, then glue and shape into the scale model that you will take home. Beginner: No previous woodworking experience necessary and all tools will be provided.

El Museo Flavel House invita a las familias a un fin de semana gratuito para jugar: Diversión y juegos a la antigua

Traiga su niños, trae una manta y venga a jugar al Museo Flavel House. Acompáñenos en “Old-Fashioned Fun & Games”, un fin de semana gratuito y familiar en el césped del museo, sábado y domingo, 20 y 21 de junio, de 11:00 a.m. a 4:00 p.m. ambos días.

Este fin de semana se trata de la diversión al aire libre: correr, reír y probar algo nuevo en familia. Podrán sumarse a juegos clásicos de césped como bádminton y croquet, y animarse con favoritos del público como carreras de sacos y un concurso de comer tartas. Los niños también podrán probar juegos “vintage” como aro y palo, balero, zancos y elaboración de cuerdas. Habrá premios durante todo el día.

¿Con hambre? Disfrute un corn dog (sí—las familias de la época victoriana también lo hacían) y una limonada mientras los niños descubren cómo se divertían antes.
