You have to read these books, say Real Simple’s Facebook fans, who showered them with love when we asked about their favorite

Love at F irst Word
If you’re a reader, you may remember the book that took you down. The one that hooked you, that made you

required reading during college. So thank you, Ernest! —Kr istin Gebhardt

The Estacada Arts Commission and the Estacada Library present...
The Ballad of Cate Parks
by Nina Bradford
On display at the
Estacada Public Library
June 22 - September 22, 2014
This is a series of mixed-media art works by artist Nina Bradford. In painting, drawing and collage, it tells the
story of a young woman who lived in the late 1800's and fell in love with a sailor. The fictional story was
conceived while walking the paths along Burrard Inlet at Cates Park in Vancouver, B.C.
The series develops into a visual diary of a young woman's life that shows not only the joy of love and the
sorrow of loss, but also the relationships between people, their objects and the world in which they live.
You can view more art by Nina Bradford at
The Spiral Gallery in Estacada, Oregon.

EARNEST Audition Notice...
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Directed by Anita Sorel
First performed on 14 February, 1895 at the St James's Theatre in London, it is a farcical comed y in which the
protagonists maintain fictitious persona in order to escape burdensome social obligations. Working within the
social conventions of late Victorian London, the play's major themes are the triviality with which it treats
institutions as serious as marriage, and the resulting satire of Victorian ways. Contemporary reviews all praised
the play's humor, though some were cautious about its explicit lack of social messages, while others foresaw the
modern consensus that it was the culmination of Wilde's artistic career so far. Its high farce and witty dialogue
have helped make The Importance of Being Earnest Wilde's most enduringly popular play.
Saturday, July 26, 10:00-4:00; Sunday, July 27, 11:00-4:00
Email:[email protected] for appointment
Sandy Actors Theatre
14733 Meinig Ave. (behind Ace Hardware)
Sandy, OR 97055
All roles available:
1.John (Jack) Worthing - A young, eligible bachelor. He is sincere and serious. He is far
more Victorian than Algernon.
2. Algernon Moncrieff – playboy, of the leisure class, cheap, seeks excitement. Algernon is
not serious and is generally out for his own gratification.
3. Lady Bracknell - The perfect symbol of Victorian mentality — the belief that style is more
important than substance. Social and class barriers are to be enforced. A matriarch and
tyrant.
4. Gwendolen Fairfax - Lady Bracknell's daughter, 19 or 20, exhibiting some sophistication.
Believes style is important, not sincerity.
5. Cecily Cardew - Jack Worthing's ward. She is 18, romantic and imaginative. Less
sophisticated than Gwendolen.
6. Miss Prism - Cecily's governess and a symbol of Victorian moral righteousness. Quotes
scripture, however she flirts with Chasuble.
7. Rev. Canon Chasuble, D.D. - Like Miss Prism, he is the source of Victorian moral
judgments, but his heart beats for Miss Prism.
NOTE: Auditions will be cold readings from the scripts. All are welcome and no experience is
necessary.
We also are recruiting crew positions (Asst., Stage Mgr., Lights & Sound technicians, Set Builders,
Set Painters) for this production. If interested in these areas, please contact Brian @
[email protected]
Sandy Actors Theatre provides limited stipends to all cast and crew to cover expenses (travel,
etc.)

Clackamas Repertory Theatre’s
‘Carousel’ Features Award-Winning Talent…
OREGON CITY - Clackamas Repertory Theatre (CRT) continues its 10th season Saturday, Aug. 2,
with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical “Carousel.” This production features the talents of
several award-winning Portland-area theater professionals.
Directed by David Smith- English, Clackamas Rep’s “Carousel” features Dru Rutledge as Julie Jordan and
Michael Mitchell as Billy Bigelow. Both Rutledge and Mitchell won Portland Area Musical Theatre Awards
(PAMTAs) for their performances in Clackamas Rep’s 2011 production of “Oklahoma!” The production is
choreographed by another PAMTA award winner Wes Hanson (for CRT’s 2013 “Kiss Me Kate”) and also features
Cassi Kohl as Carrie and Jonathan Quesenberry as Enoch Snow.
“Carousel” is based on the play Liliom (1909) by the Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnȧr. Rodgers and
Hammerstein turned out to be the perfect choice to do a musical adaptation of the play, and “Carousel” features wellknown songs, “If I Loved You,” and “When You Walk Through a Storm.” The musical originally opened on
Broadway on April 19, 1945, and ran for a little over two years. It won a number of prestigious awards and remains
an audience favorite today.
Clackamas Rep’s performance of “Carousel” runs Aug. 1 through Aug. 24. Performances take place in the
Osterman Theatre at Clackamas Community College, Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. with Sunday
matinees at 2:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $15 to $35 and may be purchased by calling 503-594-6047 or at
www.clackamasrep.org. The low-price preview is Thursday, July 31. The Aug. 1 show is sold out. Opening night is
Aug 2.
Clackamas Rep’s season continues in late September with the comedy “Good People.”

CCC and Oregon Tech
Sign Reverse Transfer Agreement…
OREGON CITY — More students in Oregon will have the opportunity to be credited with an associate’s
degree while earning a bachelor’s degree through a new “Reverse Transfer” agreement, signed last week between the
Oregon Institute of Technology (Oregon Tech) and Clackamas Community College (CCC).
CCC President Joanne Truesdell and Oregon Tech President Chris Maples led the signing ceremony, held at
CCC’s Oregon City campus. The colleges launched the Reverse Transfer Degree pilot program as a way to increase
degree attainment and support graduates’ workforce preparation.
“Reverse Transfer” is a relatively new program in Oregon and the U.S., which recognizes students’
achievements with an associate’s degree after they have transferred to a four- year school. The agreement will provide
students who have attended both CCC and Oregon Tech with an associate’s degree, awarding them for the work they
have already completed while at the community college. There are no additional costs to students to apply for and
receive the reverse transfer degree, which will be awarded from CCC once the accumulated credits are reached at
Oregon Tech.
“The old pattern of education first and work later no longer holds,” said Truesdell. “Most students are also
workers. Having an associate’s degree while studying for the bachelor’s shows employers that students are ready to
enter their chosen field, even while they pursue further education.”
Early research on outcomes shows that students who are awarded an associate’s degree through reverse
transfer benefit in a number of ways, including being more likely to stay in school and finish a four- year degree
program. Graduates also gain both an associate’s and a bachelor’s degree on their resume, reflecting a broader, more
accurate view of their skills and training received over time. This can add up to higher entry level and higher paying
jobs for graduates.
“Today’s students move frequently between two- and four-year colleges and universities to earn a degree, so
it’s important to have options that recognize this reality,” said Chris Maples, president of Oregon Tech.
Colleges and universities also benefit from reverse transfer. Community college completion rates will more
accurately reflect the investment of time, resources, and support that two-year institutions have in the students who
transfer prior to degree completion. These institutions will gain credit for the degrees in their completion outcomes,
create closer transfer collaborations with four-year institutions, and gain alumni who feel a greater connection to the
community college.
This reverse transfer agreement, which started spring term, is a pilot exclusively between Oregon Tech and
CCC for the 2013-2014 and 2014-15 academic years.
