RR (02:22):
Lincoln City on stage.
It is indeed on stage.
Theater West is on stage with adelightful comedy.
It is a wonderful play that Ihad the good fortune to see this
past weekend.
With us are the director andthe assistant director for this
marvelous work of art.
I'll give you that.
We have T.
Sean Prescott, who is thedirector.
(02:44):
Correct.
T Sean Prescott (02:44):
That's correct.
RR (02:45):
And then, Chris, you are the assistant director.
T Sean Prescott (02:49):
Yes.
RR (02:49):
Okay.
Great play.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Give us a little bit of thestoryline behind what Theater
West has got on stage right now.
T Sean Prescott (02:57):
So, Arsenic and Old Lace is a kind of a zany
comedy about the happenings inthe Brewster house set around
1940 or so.
And there's some wacky stuffgoing on and some
RR (03:12):
dark...
Some?
Some.
And some dark comedy and...
Remember, I've seen
T Sean Prescott (03:17):
this play.
I have to say...
I love this play.
I've loved it ever since I sawthe movie.
And what the biggest thrill forme was when the actors
basically started making thecharacters their own and started
adding stuff into the play.
I couldn't be happier.
I couldn't be prouder of them.
RR (03:38):
And they are allowed to do that?
Yeah.
And encouraged.
T Sean Prescott (03:44):
Yes.
So the way I like to actuallydirect is, you know, I get the
script, I figure out how I wantto, you know, show everything,
get everybody to learn theirlines, and then tell them to
start playing.
You know, come up with anaccent, come up with an odd
entrance, or, you know, juststart kind of ad-libbing, you
(04:05):
know, not lines-wise, but, youknow, come up with something to
do to make that character yourown.
I've had a lot of thembackstage come up and say, hey,
tomorrow night, I'm going to trythis with my character.
And I'm like, great, go for it.
Because I want to see it.
And if it doesn't work, yeah,we'll cut it back out.
RR (04:22):
It is a great play, Arsenic and Old Lace, but it started out
as a movie, correct?
T Sean Prescott (04:28):
I believe it was a play first.
RR (04:31):
Oh, it was a play first.
If
T Sean Prescott (04:32):
I remember looking it up, it was a play
first.
And then the movie came outlike, I want to say maybe a year
after it was a play.
RR (04:39):
No, it's good stuff.
In the cast, we've got who?
Speaker 14 (04:43):
We have 13 cast members.
It's a really huge amount ofpeople on a small stage.
I think so.
I haven't seen one that big.
T Sean Prescott (04:53):
I think Epic Proportions was almost that big.
Speaker 14 (04:57):
We have a nice mix of veterans at Theatre West and
newcomers.
Actually, I think three haven'tbeen on the stage here before.
RR (05:06):
What brings people to the stage?
Speaker 14 (05:08):
I think there's a community there.
I think we hear a lot that, andI'm one of these, that people
for a long time go, man, I'dkind of like to do that.
And finally they get up thegumption.
I'm still working on that.
But
RR (05:21):
this is how I decided to start.
So you haven't been in a playyet then?
Not since high school.
Speaker 14 (05:28):
But my son is the gentleman who plays Mortimer in
the play.
T Sean Prescott (05:33):
Oh, all right.
That's how we met, actually,through her son.
Speaker 14 (05:37):
I started volunteering at Theater West,
and the rest is history.
RR (05:40):
You love it.
I do.
It is an intimate theater.
It is a fun place to be, andyou draw really well.
Speaker 14 (05:51):
We do.
I think the community supportsit a lot.
T Sean Prescott (05:55):
We do, yeah.
We have been, this last season,I think the last four or five
shows, we have been selling outmore theater.
you know, completely sell outthan we have, you know, in the
previous years.
RR (06:08):
And when you do sell out, the actors really draw from
that, don't they?
T Sean Prescott (06:12):
I do.
Well, see, I act on stage a lotas well.
And so I always do.
The more crowd there is outthere, the more energy I have on
stage.
So I have a feeling they getthat too.
Speaker 14 (06:24):
It's a part of the conversation nightly, actually.
A conversation about the crowd.
Like, they're lively.
They're a good crowd.
And I think...
I think that's an interestingthing that maybe not all people
know because there's this ideathat you go to the theater like
you used to go to the libraryand you need to sit there
quietly and demurely.
Not so much.
When we're trying to make youlaugh, we want you to laugh.
And it helps the actors.
(06:45):
When people get involved,there's such an energy that you
can't even imagine.
RR (06:51):
You not only have got a big cast, the stage itself, the
setting is well done.
T Sean Prescott (07:00):
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
That was...
I will take credit.
That was in my brain becausemost of the playhouses have a
very large stage to work withand we have rather a small stage
to work with.
So I had to manipulate all ofthe different things that we
needed into that small stage.
RR (07:17):
Especially for Teddy Roosevelt.
T Sean Prescott (07:19):
Especially for Teddy.
We had to make a stairway.
We had to have a window seat.
We had to have a door, youknow, four different doors in
one room.
And yeah, it was...
It was a logistical nightmare,but we got it done.
RR (07:32):
How much of that is written into the script that you need
this type of stage?
T Sean Prescott (07:40):
Yeah, they actually do really well.
So most scripts are purchasedfrom two different New York
companies.
One's called ConcordTheatricals and the other one
is...
I can't remember.
But when you purchase thescripts, they come and they
have...
know character descriptionsthey have in the back you will
(08:00):
see all the props needed youwill see like an idea for the
set design of you know like theoriginal play you know and so
forth and so you can take all ofthat information and sort of go
well uh like as in myproduction i don't have any
candles going on on myproduction just didn't want to
fool with that so we don't haveto have those props right but
(08:23):
You know, their stage they haveout, you know, it's a big, wide
stage, like a normal-sizedstage.
And I had to go, okay, well, Ican't have everything in a line,
so I'm going to have to squisheverything down and put it that
way.
So that was fun.
RR (08:35):
There are a lot of props in the play.
Unknown (08:38):
Yeah.
RR (08:38):
And there has to be the props to make it work.
T Sean Prescott (08:41):
Yeah, there has to be.
I mean, you can do playswithout props and do like
pantomime, you know, certainthings.
But that gives that sort of anodd feel.
But in a play like this, youactually have to have, you know,
the glasses with the wine inthem.
And you have to have, you know,the biscuits on the table when
(09:01):
people are eating.
And, you know, you have to haveall of those things, a curtain
cord for somebody to grab, allof that.
RR (09:08):
Theater.
Peter West's play, Our StinkingOld Lace, is on stage till
when?
Speaker 14 (09:13):
June 14th.
RR (09:14):
June 14th.
So people better hustle, gettheir tickets.
So
Speaker 14 (09:19):
it's a little weird schedule.
This week...
We have Thursday, Friday,Saturday, and Sunday evening
shows.
No, Saturday's a matinee.
No, Sunday's a matinee.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday,Sunday matinee.
Okay.
Then the final week, we onlyhave two shows.
Thursday and Saturday.
Yeah.
We have to skip overgraduation.
RR (09:36):
Oh, that would make sense.
Yes.
Again, congratulations,Ariston, and always on stage,
Theater West.
It is a delightful comedy.
Thank you.
I enjoyed it immensely.
I'm so happy to hear that.
Sat in the very top row.
The cushions are a little firm.
But other than that, it is agreat place.
Thanks to Jack Coyne for givingTheater West that facility.
(10:00):
With that, it's kind of nice tohave your own home, is it not?
T Sean Prescott (10:04):
It really is.
I think some playhouses havethat, you know, a little bit of
a headache trying to figure out,you know, how they're going to.
afford things and so forth.
And we are a nonprofit and theland was actually gifted to
Theater West.
So, you know, the building andthe land, we don't have to, you
know, pay a mortgage for orsomething like
RR (10:25):
that.
Don't miss it.
Theater West on stage.

We'll take a break and more ina moment.

Lincoln, Tillamook and Yamhill Counties, Northwest
Septic Service.
The youth enjoy being on stageas much as the adults, and with
me is a lady that puts the youthcenter stage, if you will,
Karen Bonelli-Sanquist, LincolnCity Playhouse.
It's the children's theater,right?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (11:27):
So we've called it a youth theater.
We do invite adults to come andaudition, too.
just because we enjoy having asmany people as we can.
The parts always go to theyouth first.
And then any extra parts, weinvite the adults to join in.
RR (11:43):
So your plays are everything?
Yes.
Musicals, comedies, whatever?
Yes,
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (11:49):
yes.
Our next one that we will beauditioning for in July is The
Outsiders.
And it is not a musical.
And I had about four of thekids walk up to me and say they
wanted to do that play.
So I don't always take theirsuggestions.
I always tell them, my commentalways is, I will take that into
advisement.
RR (12:10):
That's the best way to put that.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:13):
Yes.
RR (12:14):
So why The Outsiders?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:16):
It is a more mature play than what we
normally do, I would say.
So it's going to be leaningmore towards teenagers.
And what we will do is foranybody younger than the teenage
age that doesn't want to be inthe Outsiders is we're going to
do a small 20 minute play thatwill be fun and upbeat and
everything that then the youngerkids can come and audition for
(12:38):
that.
RR (12:39):
Running simultaneously?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:41):
Running simultaneously.
So people can either stay andwatch the Outsiders or if their
little kids are just in thatbeginning one then they can go.
RR (12:48):
So you perform where?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:50):
So we were performing in Lincoln City
but we got invited to come toOtis and perform at the little
school which is right behindRose Lodge.
It's two doors down.
We did our Christmas playthere.
It was a lot of fun.
They have a beautiful stage.
I had no idea it was there.
Most people don't know it'sthere.
RR (13:10):
I haven't been there in years.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:11):
Yeah, the stage is beautiful.
It's so, like I just can'tbelieve how beautiful the stage
RR (13:17):
is.
I didn't realize they left thestage in place.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:19):
Yeah, it's totally there.
They've done some work on itand they invited us out and they
were so ecstatic to have us outthere.
RR (13:26):
So now we should say Lincoln City and Rose Lodge on stage.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:29):
Yes.
That's
RR (13:31):
wonderful.
So you will hopefully holdauditions when?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:35):
We're hoping the middle of July on
Lincoln City Playhouse page iswhere we will be putting up the
information on Facebook.
So definitely 100% by the endof July because we're wanting to
perform at the beginning ofSeptember.
RR (13:49):
It takes a lot of cash to put together a play, does it
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:52):
not?
It does take a lot of cash.
This play alone, it's going tobe $2,000.
When we do a huge musical, it'sover $5,000 to put one on.
That's
RR (14:04):
putting your neck out there a long ways.
That's
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (14:06):
putting our neck out there a lot of
ways.
A lot of the money comes fromfamilies that just are willing
to donate because it's importantthat the kids have something to
do that isn't into sports.
That's always my big thing isThere needs to be things in the
community that isn't just sportsorientated.
RR (14:25):
And this happens to be a golden one.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (14:27):
This is a golden one.
Last summer we were five years,so this summer it'll be six
years.
And we've had a small castwhere we've only had 12 people,
which we make it work.
And then we've had a large castwhere we had 47 youth and seven
adults.
RR (14:43):
I would venture a guess you probably don't turn away
anybody.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (14:47):
No, no, not at all.
I try giving people, and Ialways say this, I give you the
part that you're supposed tohave.
I know what part you'resupposed to have.
And people will complain aboutit and stuff.
But once they get up there onstage and they do it, they're
like, that's what I should havebeen.
So, but no, we do not turn awayanybody.
There's always extra parts thatsomebody can play.
(15:07):
And if they don't want to be inthe play, that's another thing
that we push for is we needpeople backstage.
We need people backstage thatcan help with the curtains.
Yep.
Help with the curtains, helpwith the lights.
There's always something elsethat somebody can do.
So even if you're notinterested in acting, we
encourage you to do that.
I would
RR (15:27):
have to think that what this gives the children is a degree
of confidence that they couldn'tget elsewhere.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (15:35):
Very much so.
We've had a few kids includingTessa who's got dyslexia and
I've actually had quite a fewkids that have come in with
dyslexia and they're scared andthey're so unsure of themselves
but giving them small parts thatwe then help them learn and
help them memorize and then theyget out there on stage and they
(15:56):
know their words and they're soexcited because they're
actually able to perform whatthey're being taught and
memorizing things.
RR (16:04):
I probably would be chastised severely if we I did
not ask about Tessa, and hernext endeavor is what?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (16:11):
Her next endeavor is, this year she
is Ms.
Lynn Benton's teen, which isCorvallis and Albany area, and
we leave on the 21st, which isin 19 days, and she is going out
for Ms.
Oregon's teen.
and is very, very excited.
She's doing amazing.
Listening to other people talkabout her and talk about how
(16:34):
much she has grown in the fouryears that she has started this
amazing program, which is not abeauty pageant.
It's a scholarship program.
She's got over $6,000 inscholarships now.
Really?
Yeah, she's doing amazing.
RR (16:47):
That's significant.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (16:49):
It is very big in this time where it's
a lot of money to go tocollege.
Unknown (16:54):
Wow.
RR (16:54):
So her talent will be some acting, music, what?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:00):
So she's doing what is called a Her
Story, and she talks aboutdyslexia
RR (17:04):
and
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:05):
how it has affected her life and her
acting career.
So she kind of is puttingacting and dyslexia together,
and it's very amazing.
I will end up posting it on myFacebook page after she does it
and brings tears to my eyesevery time she does it.
RR (17:19):
Well, good luck to her and good luck to you.
Thank you.
And again, the next play, TheOutsiders.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:24):
We'll
RR (17:26):
be auditioned.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:27):
And it will be at the New Life Forest
Square Church.
We still audition there.
We still rehearse there.
So we're at the New Life ForestSquare Church in Lincoln City
because we love Lincoln City.
Lehto (17:38):
Wouldn't it be great to have all your insurance needs
handled by one agency?
This is Charlotte Lado withFarmers Insurance and the
Insurance Store.
Visit our office next to theWildflower Grill in Lincoln
City.
Let us be your one stop foryour personal, commercial,
health, and Medicare insuranceneeds.
La Roca (17:55):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't take our
word for it.
Read the reviews.
One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.
RR (18:13):
On stage, Lincoln City at the Lincoln City Cultural Center
with me, Nikki Price.
Welcome.
Niki Price (18:18):
Well, thank you very much for having me here.
It's always a pleasure.
RR (18:20):
You've got a marvelous stage at the Lincoln City Cultural
Center.
It's been utilized by mosteverybody in town for one thing
or another.
Niki Price (18:29):
Yeah, it's not a big stage, but it's very cozy.
And we have all the mod cons,as you say.
It has really great acousticsand especially good for a
certain kind of band, you know,like a small ensemble that has a
lot of acoustic instruments.
It's really perfect.
RR (18:46):
So on stage this summer will be what?
What do we got to look forwardto?
Niki Price (18:51):
Well, in terms of concerts, we kind of go down in
volume a little bit and we sortof ramp up our week-long
experiences that we have forkids.
And also we lean into thepeople who come for the summer
time for the Farmer's Market andour weekend festivals.
So it's a little bit differentthan our normal September
(19:13):
through May concert schedule, ifthat makes sense.
RR (19:17):
Sure it
Niki Price (19:17):
does.
Yeah, yeah.
So I just said all that abouthow great it was for acoustic
bands, but actually the nextband that's coming up is called
Icons of Rock.
RR (19:26):
Very
Niki Price (19:27):
good.
And it is an 80s tribute bandcollection.
It's like nine people whotogether have three separate
tribute bands.
So there's an ACDC tributeband.
and a Van Halen tribute bandand a Pat Benatar.
And they're really good.
Last year, they totally soldout.
And I recommend everybody gettheir tickets now.
That's on the 14th of June at 7o'clock.
RR (19:48):
One night show.
One night show.
You have every type of venuecomes to perform there, though.
Niki Price (19:56):
Yeah, we have a lot of variety.
Most definitely.
RR (19:58):
Where do you source all of it from?
Niki Price (20:01):
I know a number of agents, and I've gotten to know
more over the years.
And so quite a few of thepeople who come to see us come
through one of those agents.
And I think what I tend to findis as a certain kind of agent
that works with a certain sizeof band, that can work within
our budget.
And then once I get trust inthem and them and us, then we
(20:23):
can continue to correspond andbe part of tours when they bring
bands through.
Are
RR (20:29):
a lot of the groups coming down out of Portland or are they
on tours nationwide?
Niki Price (20:35):
You know, we have a little bit of everything.
In our Celtic season, which isone concert per month from
September through May, we haveabout half of our bands are
basically American-based, andthen the rest are coming from
Scotland or Ireland or Wales or,you know, one of the Celtic
music countries.
RR (20:55):
That's going to be fun.
Niki Price (20:57):
It is.
It really is fun.
It's like a little glimpse intoa different world.
And the quality of these bandsis really high because they have
to have a certain level ofmusicianship in order to get an
agent and to hit the road and toplay all the different places
(21:17):
that they play in the Northwest.
But they're not huge.
you know, if they were huge,then they'd be playing at the
Reeser or the Holt or, you know,one of those other places in
our area.
So we just have that littlesweet spot of bands that like to
play our 100 to 150 seat house.
RR (21:33):
Nikki Price, have a favorite?
Niki Price (21:35):
A kind of genre or a Celtic band?
RR (21:38):
A Celtic band or any group that has come.
You just sit back and say, oh,we got to have them back.
Niki Price (21:45):
Well, you know, I'm actually personally a fan of
soul music.
And that's a sad thing for mebecause it is hard to get a soul
band to come and play here.
But the Barnes Brothers playedhere a couple of years ago and
they were amazing.
They were a gospel soul groupfrom Louisiana.
Just tremendous.
Just knocked out of the park.
(22:05):
And that's my favorite kind ofmusic.
RR (22:07):
So you've got the music inside.
Let's talk a little bit aboutwhat's going on outside now,
because all of the markets areback open again, correct?
Niki Price (22:16):
Right.
So we have a Sunday farmer'smarket, and it's from 10 until 3
every Sunday.
It had to be canceled lastSunday, unfortunately, due to
winds.
That's the one thing that youhave to watch out for when
you're following our farmer'smarket.
It can
RR (22:31):
happen.
Niki Price (22:31):
Yeah, it can happen.
And do you think it's not a bigdeal until you try to put up a
tent in the wind.
RR (22:37):
Or take
Niki Price (22:38):
it down.
Or take it down.
And I think a few years ago, weactually had like a near miss
situation where we had a tentand the wind took it and it
almost hurt somebody.
And ever since then, I'm like,okay, let's set the rules.
You know, the winds are at acertain level.
It's okay to cancel because welike everyone to be safe.
RR (22:57):
It becomes a sale.
Unknown (22:58):
Yeah.
RR (22:59):
Yeah,
Niki Price (23:00):
it sure does.
So anyway, back to the farmer'smarket.
It's every Sunday from 10 until3.
Weather permitting.
Weather permitting.
And they're up to about 40different booths and just
growing.
And they have a little bit ofeverything and all your
favorites, plus new people thatcome along just for short
stints.
And it's a growing market witha new organization.
(23:23):
And I'm really proud about theway they're putting their
organization together.
RR (23:27):
Back inside, inside the display area, what's being
featured art-wise right now?
Niki Price (23:35):
Well, whenever you come into the Cultural Center,
we always have at least twoshows for you to see.
Right now, we have the showcaseof the studio tour, and that's
in the Chessman Gallery.
And then down the hall in theFiber Arts Gallery, we have
handmade quilts from Kenya thatare part of this group called
Quilts for Empowerment.
And these women who make thesequilts in Kenya, they're
(23:57):
survivors of fistula, which is amedical condition that is
actually fairly simple to treat.
But if it isn't treated...
can cause real damage to awoman's body as well as her
stance in society.
And so this group, Quilts forEmpowerment, raises money to
help women in Kenyam to get thesurgeries that they need to
(24:19):
conquer this fistula.
RR (24:20):
And again, where do you get such a display?
Niki Price (24:23):
Everything comes in in a different way.
Okay.
But I would like to say thatonce you sort of open up your
gallery or your performing artsseason...
or your email address to theworld, and you say, we have this
venue, then people startcontacting you.
And that's where most of thesethings come into us.
It's just a credit to LincolnCity and all the people who
(24:46):
worked so hard to make thisvenue, and now we have a place
to receive and then producethese artistic programs.
bob Beach Books (24:53):
You'll find a book for every occasion at Bob's
Beach Books.
Something to read as you'rerelaxed by an open fire?

community college down there forthese great new program.
Well, a great new program.
Well attended, right?

RR (26:23):
full house.
That is a full house.
Glenny Beach Parade.
The 4th of July parade is back.
I love it.
I get to be the master ofceremonies for the 4th of July

That's exciting.
It really is.
And if you would like to bepart of the parade, the

But make plans to be not onlyat the parade, but to be in the
parade.
It is great fun.
(26:59):
Great fun.
It's Americana at its very,very best.
Also, save the date for theLincoln City Chamber of Commerce
Business Conference.
This is June 27th We had aquestion last week that we asked
how many new members wereintroduced at the Lincoln City
Chamber of Commerce noonluncheon.
(27:19):
And the mayor wins again.
Son Paul (27:22):
She does.
Yeah, we did have another callin.
I guess your son, Phil, alsohad the right answer.
But sorry, bro.
We're going to give it to
RR (27:30):
the mayor.
The mayor wins out.
And she gets free admission toattend the business conference.
Son Paul (27:37):
$55 value, as I recall.
Absolutely.
So a nice event coming up herein June.
RR (27:41):
Mayor, just go to the chamber office, talk to Lori,
and you're in.
Now, Salmon River EstuaryTours, what do we got left
there?
Son Paul (27:48):
Yeah, still got some tickets.
They're selling out prettyfast, though.

Sunday.
And 4, 5, and 6 p.m.

RR (02:22):
Lincoln City on stage.
It is indeed on stage.
Theater West is on stage with adelightful comedy.
It is a wonderful play that Ihad the good fortune to see this
past weekend.
With us are the director andthe assistant director for this
marvelous work of art.
I'll give you that.
We have T.
Sean Prescott, who is thedirector.
(02:44):
Correct.
T Sean Prescott (02:44):
That's correct.
RR (02:45):
And then, Chris, you are the assistant director.
T Sean Prescott (02:49):
Yes.
RR (02:49):
Okay.
Great play.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Give us a little bit of thestoryline behind what Theater
West has got on stage right now.
T Sean Prescott (02:57):
So, Arsenic and Old Lace is a kind of a zany
comedy about the happenings inthe Brewster house set around
1940 or so.
And there's some wacky stuffgoing on and some
RR (03:12):
dark...
Some?
Some.
And some dark comedy and...
Remember, I've seen
T Sean Prescott (03:17):
this play.
I have to say...
I love this play.
I've loved it ever since I sawthe movie.
And what the biggest thrill forme was when the actors
basically started making thecharacters their own and started
adding stuff into the play.
I couldn't be happier.
I couldn't be prouder of them.
RR (03:38):
And they are allowed to do that?
Yeah.
And encouraged.
T Sean Prescott (03:44):
Yes.
So the way I like to actuallydirect is, you know, I get the
script, I figure out how I wantto, you know, show everything,
get everybody to learn theirlines, and then tell them to
start playing.
You know, come up with anaccent, come up with an odd
entrance, or, you know, juststart kind of ad-libbing, you
(04:05):
know, not lines-wise, but, youknow, come up with something to
do to make that character yourown.
I've had a lot of thembackstage come up and say, hey,
tomorrow night, I'm going to trythis with my character.
And I'm like, great, go for it.
Because I want to see it.
And if it doesn't work, yeah,we'll cut it back out.
RR (04:22):
It is a great play, Arsenic and Old Lace, but it started out
as a movie, correct?
T Sean Prescott (04:28):
I believe it was a play first.
RR (04:31):
Oh, it was a play first.
If
T Sean Prescott (04:32):
I remember looking it up, it was a play
first.
And then the movie came outlike, I want to say maybe a year
after it was a play.
RR (04:39):
No, it's good stuff.
In the cast, we've got who?
Speaker 14 (04:43):
We have 13 cast members.
It's a really huge amount ofpeople on a small stage.
I think so.
I haven't seen one that big.
T Sean Prescott (04:53):
I think Epic Proportions was almost that big.
Speaker 14 (04:57):
We have a nice mix of veterans at Theatre West and
newcomers.
Actually, I think three haven'tbeen on the stage here before.
RR (05:06):
What brings people to the stage?
Speaker 14 (05:08):
I think there's a community there.
I think we hear a lot that, andI'm one of these, that people
for a long time go, man, I'dkind of like to do that.
And finally they get up thegumption.
I'm still working on that.
But
RR (05:21):
this is how I decided to start.
So you haven't been in a playyet then?
Not since high school.
Speaker 14 (05:28):
But my son is the gentleman who plays Mortimer in
the play.
T Sean Prescott (05:33):
Oh, all right.
That's how we met, actually,through her son.
Speaker 14 (05:37):
I started volunteering at Theater West,
and the rest is history.
RR (05:40):
You love it.
I do.
It is an intimate theater.
It is a fun place to be, andyou draw really well.
Speaker 14 (05:51):
We do.
I think the community supportsit a lot.
T Sean Prescott (05:55):
We do, yeah.
We have been, this last season,I think the last four or five
shows, we have been selling outmore theater.
you know, completely sell outthan we have, you know, in the
previous years.
RR (06:08):
And when you do sell out, the actors really draw from
that, don't they?
T Sean Prescott (06:12):
I do.
Well, see, I act on stage a lotas well.
And so I always do.
The more crowd there is outthere, the more energy I have on
stage.
So I have a feeling they getthat too.
Speaker 14 (06:24):
It's a part of the conversation nightly, actually.
A conversation about the crowd.
Like, they're lively.
They're a good crowd.
And I think...
I think that's an interestingthing that maybe not all people
know because there's this ideathat you go to the theater like
you used to go to the libraryand you need to sit there
quietly and demurely.
Not so much.
When we're trying to make youlaugh, we want you to laugh.
And it helps the actors.
(06:45):
When people get involved,there's such an energy that you
can't even imagine.
RR (06:51):
You not only have got a big cast, the stage itself, the
setting is well done.
T Sean Prescott (07:00):
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
That was...
I will take credit.
That was in my brain becausemost of the playhouses have a
very large stage to work withand we have rather a small stage
to work with.
So I had to manipulate all ofthe different things that we
needed into that small stage.
RR (07:17):
Especially for Teddy Roosevelt.
T Sean Prescott (07:19):
Especially for Teddy.
We had to make a stairway.
We had to have a window seat.
We had to have a door, youknow, four different doors in
one room.
And yeah, it was...
It was a logistical nightmare,but we got it done.
RR (07:32):
How much of that is written into the script that you need
this type of stage?
T Sean Prescott (07:40):
Yeah, they actually do really well.
So most scripts are purchasedfrom two different New York
companies.
One's called ConcordTheatricals and the other one
is...
I can't remember.
But when you purchase thescripts, they come and they
have...
know character descriptionsthey have in the back you will
(08:00):
see all the props needed youwill see like an idea for the
set design of you know like theoriginal play you know and so
forth and so you can take all ofthat information and sort of go
well uh like as in myproduction i don't have any
candles going on on myproduction just didn't want to
fool with that so we don't haveto have those props right but
(08:23):
You know, their stage they haveout, you know, it's a big, wide
stage, like a normal-sizedstage.
And I had to go, okay, well, Ican't have everything in a line,
so I'm going to have to squisheverything down and put it that
way.
So that was fun.
RR (08:35):
There are a lot of props in the play.
Unknown (08:38):
Yeah.
RR (08:38):
And there has to be the props to make it work.
T Sean Prescott (08:41):
Yeah, there has to be.
I mean, you can do playswithout props and do like
pantomime, you know, certainthings.
But that gives that sort of anodd feel.
But in a play like this, youactually have to have, you know,
the glasses with the wine inthem.
And you have to have, you know,the biscuits on the table when
(09:01):
people are eating.
And, you know, you have to haveall of those things, a curtain
cord for somebody to grab, allof that.
RR (09:08):
Theater.
Peter West's play, Our StinkingOld Lace, is on stage till
when?
Speaker 14 (09:13):
June 14th.
RR (09:14):
June 14th.
So people better hustle, gettheir tickets.
So
Speaker 14 (09:19):
it's a little weird schedule.
This week...
We have Thursday, Friday,Saturday, and Sunday evening
shows.
No, Saturday's a matinee.
No, Sunday's a matinee.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday,Sunday matinee.
Okay.
Then the final week, we onlyhave two shows.
Thursday and Saturday.
Yeah.
We have to skip overgraduation.
RR (09:36):
Oh, that would make sense.
Yes.
Again, congratulations,Ariston, and always on stage,
Theater West.
It is a delightful comedy.
Thank you.
I enjoyed it immensely.
I'm so happy to hear that.
Sat in the very top row.
The cushions are a little firm.
But other than that, it is agreat place.
Thanks to Jack Coyne for givingTheater West that facility.
(10:00):
With that, it's kind of nice tohave your own home, is it not?
T Sean Prescott (10:04):
It really is.
I think some playhouses havethat, you know, a little bit of
a headache trying to figure out,you know, how they're going to.
afford things and so forth.
And we are a nonprofit and theland was actually gifted to
Theater West.
So, you know, the building andthe land, we don't have to, you
know, pay a mortgage for orsomething like
RR (10:25):
that.
Don't miss it.
Theater West on stage.
Arsenic and Old Waste.
We'll take a break and more ina moment.

The youth enjoy being on stageas much as the adults, and with
me is a lady that puts the youthcenter stage, if you will,
Karen Bonelli-Sanquist, LincolnCity Playhouse.
It's the children's theater,right?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (11:27):
So we've called it a youth theater.
We do invite adults to come andaudition, too.
just because we enjoy having asmany people as we can.
The parts always go to theyouth first.
And then any extra parts, weinvite the adults to join in.
RR (11:43):
So your plays are everything?
Yes.
Musicals, comedies, whatever?
Yes,
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (11:49):
yes.
Our next one that we will beauditioning for in July is The
Outsiders.
And it is not a musical.
And I had about four of thekids walk up to me and say they
wanted to do that play.
So I don't always take theirsuggestions.
I always tell them, my commentalways is, I will take that into
advisement.
RR (12:10):
That's the best way to put that.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:13):
Yes.
RR (12:14):
So why The Outsiders?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:16):
It is a more mature play than what we
normally do, I would say.
So it's going to be leaningmore towards teenagers.
And what we will do is foranybody younger than the teenage
age that doesn't want to be inthe Outsiders is we're going to
do a small 20 minute play thatwill be fun and upbeat and
everything that then the youngerkids can come and audition for
(12:38):
that.
RR (12:39):
Running simultaneously?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:41):
Running simultaneously.
So people can either stay andwatch the Outsiders or if their
little kids are just in thatbeginning one then they can go.
RR (12:48):
So you perform where?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (12:50):
So we were performing in Lincoln City
but we got invited to come toOtis and perform at the little
school which is right behindRose Lodge.
It's two doors down.
We did our Christmas playthere.
It was a lot of fun.
They have a beautiful stage.
I had no idea it was there.
Most people don't know it'sthere.
RR (13:10):
I haven't been there in years.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:11):
Yeah, the stage is beautiful.
It's so, like I just can'tbelieve how beautiful the stage
RR (13:17):
is.
I didn't realize they left thestage in place.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:19):
Yeah, it's totally there.
They've done some work on itand they invited us out and they
were so ecstatic to have us outthere.
RR (13:26):
So now we should say Lincoln City and Rose Lodge on stage.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:29):
Yes.
That's
RR (13:31):
wonderful.
So you will hopefully holdauditions when?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:35):
We're hoping the middle of July on
Lincoln City Playhouse page iswhere we will be putting up the
information on Facebook.
So definitely 100% by the endof July because we're wanting to
perform at the beginning ofSeptember.
RR (13:49):
It takes a lot of cash to put together a play, does it
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (13:52):
not?
It does take a lot of cash.
This play alone, it's going tobe $2,000.
When we do a huge musical, it'sover $5,000 to put one on.
That's
RR (14:04):
putting your neck out there a long ways.
That's
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (14:06):
putting our neck out there a lot of
ways.
A lot of the money comes fromfamilies that just are willing
to donate because it's importantthat the kids have something to
do that isn't into sports.
That's always my big thing isThere needs to be things in the
community that isn't just sportsorientated.
RR (14:25):
And this happens to be a golden one.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (14:27):
This is a golden one.
Last summer we were five years,so this summer it'll be six
years.
And we've had a small castwhere we've only had 12 people,
which we make it work.
And then we've had a large castwhere we had 47 youth and seven
adults.
RR (14:43):
I would venture a guess you probably don't turn away
anybody.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (14:47):
No, no, not at all.
I try giving people, and Ialways say this, I give you the
part that you're supposed tohave.
I know what part you'resupposed to have.
And people will complain aboutit and stuff.
But once they get up there onstage and they do it, they're
like, that's what I should havebeen.
So, but no, we do not turn awayanybody.
There's always extra parts thatsomebody can play.
(15:07):
And if they don't want to be inthe play, that's another thing
that we push for is we needpeople backstage.
We need people backstage thatcan help with the curtains.
Yep.
Help with the curtains, helpwith the lights.
There's always something elsethat somebody can do.
So even if you're notinterested in acting, we
encourage you to do that.
I would
RR (15:27):
have to think that what this gives the children is a degree
of confidence that they couldn'tget elsewhere.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (15:35):
Very much so.
We've had a few kids includingTessa who's got dyslexia and
I've actually had quite a fewkids that have come in with
dyslexia and they're scared andthey're so unsure of themselves
but giving them small parts thatwe then help them learn and
help them memorize and then theyget out there on stage and they
(15:56):
know their words and they're soexcited because they're
actually able to perform whatthey're being taught and
memorizing things.
RR (16:04):
I probably would be chastised severely if we I did
not ask about Tessa, and hernext endeavor is what?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (16:11):
Her next endeavor is, this year she
is Ms.
Lynn Benton's teen, which isCorvallis and Albany area, and
we leave on the 21st, which isin 19 days, and she is going out
for Ms.
Oregon's teen.
and is very, very excited.
She's doing amazing.
Listening to other people talkabout her and talk about how
(16:34):
much she has grown in the fouryears that she has started this
amazing program, which is not abeauty pageant.
It's a scholarship program.
She's got over $6,000 inscholarships now.
Really?
Yeah, she's doing amazing.
RR (16:47):
That's significant.
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (16:49):
It is very big in this time where it's
a lot of money to go tocollege.
Unknown (16:54):
Wow.
RR (16:54):
So her talent will be some acting, music, what?
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:00):
So she's doing what is called a Her
Story, and she talks aboutdyslexia
RR (17:04):
and
Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:05):
how it has affected her life and her
acting career.
So she kind of is puttingacting and dyslexia together,
and it's very amazing.
I will end up posting it on myFacebook page after she does it
and brings tears to my eyesevery time she does it.
RR (17:19):
Well, good luck to her and good luck to you.
Thank you.
And again, the next play, TheOutsiders.

RR (17:26):

Karen Bonelli Sanquist, (17:27):
And it will be at the New Life Forest
Square Church.
We still audition there.
We still rehearse there.
So we're at the New Life ForestSquare Church in Lincoln City
because we love Lincoln City.

word for it.

One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.
RR (18:13):
On stage, Lincoln City at the Lincoln City Cultural Center
with me, Nikki Price.
Welcome.
Niki Price (18:18):
Well, thank you very much for having me here.
It's always a pleasure.
RR (18:20):
You've got a marvelous stage at the Lincoln City Cultural
Center.
It's been utilized by mosteverybody in town for one thing
or another.
Niki Price (18:29):
Yeah, it's not a big stage, but it's very cozy.
And we have all the mod cons,as you say.
It has really great acousticsand especially good for a
certain kind of band, you know,like a small ensemble that has a
lot of acoustic instruments.
It's really perfect.
RR (18:46):
So on stage this summer will be what?
What do we got to look forwardto?
Niki Price (18:51):
Well, in terms of concerts, we kind of go down in
volume a little bit and we sortof ramp up our week-long
experiences that we have forkids.
And also we lean into thepeople who come for the summer
time for the Farmer's Market andour weekend festivals.
So it's a little bit differentthan our normal September
(19:13):
through May concert schedule, ifthat makes sense.
RR (19:17):
Sure it
Niki Price (19:17):
does.
Yeah, yeah.
So I just said all that abouthow great it was for acoustic
bands, but actually the nextband that's coming up is called
Icons of Rock.
RR (19:26):
Very
Niki Price (19:27):
good.
And it is an 80s tribute bandcollection.
It's like nine people whotogether have three separate
tribute bands.
So there's an ACDC tributeband.
and a Van Halen tribute bandand a Pat Benatar.
And they're really good.
Last year, they totally soldout.
And I recommend everybody gettheir tickets now.
That's on the 14th of June at 7o'clock.
RR (19:48):
One night show.
One night show.
You have every type of venuecomes to perform there, though.
Niki Price (19:56):
Yeah, we have a lot of variety.
Most definitely.
RR (19:58):
Where do you source all of it from?
Niki Price (20:01):
I know a number of agents, and I've gotten to know
more over the years.
And so quite a few of thepeople who come to see us come
through one of those agents.
And I think what I tend to findis as a certain kind of agent
that works with a certain sizeof band, that can work within
our budget.
And then once I get trust inthem and them and us, then we
(20:23):
can continue to correspond andbe part of tours when they bring
bands through.
Are
RR (20:29):
a lot of the groups coming down out of Portland or are they
on tours nationwide?
Niki Price (20:35):
You know, we have a little bit of everything.
In our Celtic season, which isone concert per month from
September through May, we haveabout half of our bands are
basically American-based, andthen the rest are coming from
Scotland or Ireland or Wales or,you know, one of the Celtic
music countries.
RR (20:55):
That's going to be fun.
Niki Price (20:57):
It is.
It really is fun.
It's like a little glimpse intoa different world.
And the quality of these bandsis really high because they have
to have a certain level ofmusicianship in order to get an
agent and to hit the road and toplay all the different places
(21:17):
that they play in the Northwest.
But they're not huge.
you know, if they were huge,then they'd be playing at the
Reeser or the Holt or, you know,one of those other places in
our area.
So we just have that littlesweet spot of bands that like to
play our 100 to 150 seat house.
RR (21:33):
Nikki Price, have a favorite?
Niki Price (21:35):
A kind of genre or a Celtic band?
RR (21:38):
A Celtic band or any group that has come.
You just sit back and say, oh,we got to have them back.
Niki Price (21:45):
Well, you know, I'm actually personally a fan of
soul music.
And that's a sad thing for mebecause it is hard to get a soul
band to come and play here.
But the Barnes Brothers playedhere a couple of years ago and
they were amazing.
They were a gospel soul groupfrom Louisiana.
Just tremendous.
Just knocked out of the park.
(22:05):
And that's my favorite kind ofmusic.
RR (22:07):
So you've got the music inside.
Let's talk a little bit aboutwhat's going on outside now,
because all of the markets areback open again, correct?
Niki Price (22:16):
Right.
So we have a Sunday farmer'smarket, and it's from 10 until 3
every Sunday.
It had to be canceled lastSunday, unfortunately, due to
winds.
That's the one thing that youhave to watch out for when
you're following our farmer'smarket.
It can
RR (22:31):
happen.
Niki Price (22:31):
Yeah, it can happen.
And do you think it's not a bigdeal until you try to put up a
tent in the wind.
RR (22:37):
Or take
Niki Price (22:38):
it down.
Or take it down.
And I think a few years ago, weactually had like a near miss
situation where we had a tentand the wind took it and it
almost hurt somebody.
And ever since then, I'm like,okay, let's set the rules.
You know, the winds are at acertain level.
It's okay to cancel because welike everyone to be safe.
RR (22:57):
It becomes a sale.
Unknown (22:58):
Yeah.
RR (22:59):
Yeah,
Niki Price (23:00):
it sure does.
So anyway, back to the farmer'smarket.
It's every Sunday from 10 until3.
Weather permitting.
Weather permitting.
And they're up to about 40different booths and just
growing.
And they have a little bit ofeverything and all your
favorites, plus new people thatcome along just for short
stints.
And it's a growing market witha new organization.
(23:23):
And I'm really proud about theway they're putting their
organization together.
RR (23:27):
Back inside, inside the display area, what's being
featured art-wise right now?
Niki Price (23:35):
Well, whenever you come into the Cultural Center,
we always have at least twoshows for you to see.
Right now, we have the showcaseof the studio tour, and that's
in the Chessman Gallery.
And then down the hall in theFiber Arts Gallery, we have
handmade quilts from Kenya thatare part of this group called
Quilts for Empowerment.
And these women who make thesequilts in Kenya, they're
(23:57):
survivors of fistula, which is amedical condition that is
actually fairly simple to treat.
But if it isn't treated...
can cause real damage to awoman's body as well as her
stance in society.
And so this group, Quilts forEmpowerment, raises money to
help women in Kenyam to get thesurgeries that they need to
(24:19):
conquer this fistula.
RR (24:20):
And again, where do you get such a display?
Niki Price (24:23):
Everything comes in in a different way.
Okay.
But I would like to say thatonce you sort of open up your
gallery or your performing artsseason...
or your email address to theworld, and you say, we have this
venue, then people startcontacting you.
And that's where most of thesethings come into us.
It's just a credit to LincolnCity and all the people who
(24:46):
worked so hard to make thisvenue, and now we have a place
to receive and then producethese artistic programs.
bob Beach Books (24:53):
You'll find a book for every occasion at Bob's
Beach Books.
