Living Voices

at WSU theatre

Living Voices, an educational theatre company that uses archival film and photos as the backdrop to storytelling, will present two programs in WSU’s Jones Theatre in October.

The first program, “The New American,” explores a 15-year-old Irish girl’s journey to the United States in 1910 and the challenges of American life for new immigrants. It will be presented Thursday, Oct. 12, at 7:30 p.m.

“Klondike: The Last Adventure,” is set amid the depression of the 1890s and follows a young woman whose dreams of riches and a better life lead her to join a worldwide stampede for Alaskan gold. It will be presented Saturday, Oct. 14, at 2 p.m..

Living Voices was recently awarded the 2017 Washington Governor's Award for Arts in Education.

Reserved seating for each program costs $10 adults, $8 seniors (ages 60 and up), and $5 non-WSU students and youth. WSU student admission is free.

Tickets are on sale through TicketsWest.com, at 800-325-SEAT, and at the Beasley ticket office.

Daggy Hall box office will open for ticket sales and will-call two hours before each performance.

Advance time

for Rosalia meet

The time for the Rosalia candidates meet and greet in Rosalia Oct. 14 has been advanced by two hours to 4 p.m. The change was made to avoid a possible conflict with a John Wayne Trail presentation at the library and a walking tour of Rosalia Concrete Bridges.

Gardening talk

set at library

Master Gardener Brian Bell will talk about steps to take now to be ready for planting next spring on Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the Colfax library.

Bell’s presentation includes techniques for turning lawns or overgrown weed patches into productive garden spaces as well as ideas for future classes and workshops. Brian Bell works with the Whitman Conservation District and possesses more than a decade of personal and professional experience.

Attendees can enter in a raffle for a free gardening book, and Kristie Korslund will be on hand to answer questions about Whitman County’s free Seed Library.

Next CHS grad luncheon

The next Colfax alumni luncheon in Spokane will be at noon Tuesday, Oct. 10, at the Timber Creek Buffet located in the Argonne Village Shopping Center.
