_______________________

ONLY 50 TICKETS EACH EVENING.

This is a fundraiser event for Columbia Center for the Arts, and a "chilling opportunity" to experience cold blooded murder, slippery red herrings and diabolical clues.

Each person attending will be asked to spend the evening as someone other than themselves, and at some point during the evening, someone will be murdered!

If you have a nose for mystery and a need for some fun, this is an event you won't want to miss!

Mark your calendars now for a "blood soaked" evening of fun! Click for more information about Murder, Mystery & Mayhem.

About the Theatre

The Columbia Center for the Arts' theater hosts plays, dance performances, concerts, lectures and films, and is the home of CAST, the Columbia Arts Stage Troupe.

CAST has a proud history of providing live theater for residents of the Columbia River Gorge. Founded as a grassroots effort in 1978, it offers a range of opportunities for people who are experienced performers, and for those who want to develop their skills.

At least four productions are planned by CAST each year: Winter (February), Spring (May), Summer (July/August) and Fall (October). New talent and new faces to assist in the creative process are always welcome. Please join us!

Additional productions are brought to the theatre via partnerships and other arrangements.

For more information, or if you want to get involved, please call Columbia Center for the Arts at 541-387-8877.

February 13 through 28

The Foreigner

Written by Larry Shue, directed by Janice Axford. An inspired comic romp, equal in inventive hilarity to the author's classic comedy The Nerd. Based on what the NY Post describes as a "devilishly clever idea," the play demonstrates what can happen when a group of devious characters must deal with a stranger who (they think) knows no English.

Fridays and Saturdays, February 13, 14, 20, 21, 27 & 28 at 7:30 pm. Matinee on Sunday, February 22 at  2:00 pm.

May 7 through 23

Death and the Maiden

Written by Ariel Dorfman, directed by Judie Hanel. A moral thriller about a woman, Paulina, who believes that a stranger who comes to her home is the doctor who, under a military dictatorship, tortured her many years before.
