If you're looking for some ample samples of Northwest literature, the Sandpoint area's the place to be this weekend. It all starts at the Panida Theater Friday night (Dec. 10, 2004) at 8 p.m. with "Pot Luck: A Salad of Seldom Seen McManus Stories." Actor Tim Behrens will provide a one-man show featuring McManus' work.
According to the most recent River Journal, the actor and author are celebrating a 12-year "McAnniversary" of the night when Behrens first appeared at the Panida with a McManus stage play.
Since then, they've taken the humorous plays to 23 states, two Canadian provinces and to audiences totaling approximately 350,000. Admission for the one-time Sandpoint performance is $15 for adults and $12 for students with ID cards. For more information, call 208-263-9191.
McManus will also sign copies of his books at the Corner Bookstore on First and Main at noon Friday.
The next day (Saturday, Dec. 11, 2004) Vanderford's in Sandpoint will serve up two hours of more fun for book lovers. Ten area authors will read from their works, and one will be there to sign the book his company published.
Here's the list of readers in order of appearance: Marianne Love (that's me), Jim Payne, Sandy Compton, Dennis Nichols, Bonnie Thompson, Jack Nisbet, John Rember, Doris Fuller, Terry Bain and Bob Hamilton. Bonner County Daily Bee publisher David Keyes will also be on hand to sign the recently-published Bonner County Memories photo book.
The program starts at noon. Vanderford's is located at Second and Cedar in Sandpoint. For more information, call 208-263-2417. See you there!
There's more on the table Sunday to entice your hunger for creative goodies. Christine Holbert sent me the following press release.
Lost Horse Press proudly presents the second in a three-part series of Sunday Salons titled “Wild Mind: Rebel Creativity in the Age of Commerce.” The performance and discussion on Sunday, 12 December 2004 takes place at the Hi Hopes Cafe—next to the post office in Hope—at 1 o’clock, and features local writers and artists, Robens Napolitan and Tom Kramer, in a program entitled, “The Artful Marriage.”
Robens Napolitan and Tom Kramer celebrate thirty years of creating art, poetry, music, and life together. Robens writes, paints, sculpts, and is a professional gardener. Tom writes, paints, and plays wild music. Within an atmosphere of constant and intense collaboration, they still find a way to honor and respect each other’s unique and individual voice, mining creative depths that neither one knew were there.
Please watch for info about January’s “Sunday Afternoon Salons” at the Hi Hopes Cafe. For additional information about this or other Lost Horse programs, please call 208.255.4410 or check our web site for a schedule of upcoming events: www.losthorsepress.org.
