Texarkana Waltz

Get your tickets now for Shoreline’s presentation of “Texarkana Waltz,” opening this Thursday, March 5 and playing through March 14.

Directed by Debra Pralle, the Theater department presents Seattle playwright Louis Broome’s semi-autobiographical play that explores the horror of murder and the healing power of family and forgiveness in fresh, funny and stylistically creative ways.

From echoes of Hamlet, to Brechtian epic drama, and into a realistic exploration of a modern lesbian couple, “Texarkana Waltz” employs modern and classical sensibilities, colorful characters and the occasional singing cowboy to catapult us to the heartland of America as an Oklahoma clan struggles with the violent demons of its past.

“One of those rare works that manages to tickle the funny bone while plucking the heartstrings with quirky writing that sparkles with playful wit.” – Los Angeles Times

Playing in the Shoreline Community College Campus Theater, performances are March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are:
General admission, $10
Children 14 and under and SCC Students, $6
Seniors and Non-SCC Students, $8

Beginning Monday, March 2 artist Jean Behnke will take over the art gallery in the lobby of the Administration building (1000 bldg.) with her show titled “The Geisha and the Hawthorn Stump.” The show runs through April 10.

In a show that represents an ongoing investigation of a self-created fable, Jean delights in the synchronicity of things, considering intersections of intimate and infinite experience that reinforce a sense of wonder. Jean’s inventive printmaking and sculpture easily crosses mediums combining materials/media and uses methods of casting, assemblage and relief printing.

Jean founded Anchor art space in 2008 and is currently a member of the La Conner Arts Commission. Jean lives in La Conner and on Lopez Island in northwest Washington State.

Be sure to stop by the art gallery in the lobby of the 1000 building and check out her work between March 2 and April 10!

February 26, 2015 by 2 Comments

lee mozenaThe Plus 50 program is thrilled to bring Lee Mozena of Zena Consulting to campus this Friday, Feb. 27 to participate in a Job Seekers roundtable discussion about personal branding.

When it comes to your own life you are marketing your personal brand every single day, whether you realize it or not. Marketing is how you present yourself to those around you and what you consistently offer to them. The work you do along with your own networks and friends are professional resources others can potentially utilize. When marketing yourself, it’s about consciously building that experience so that you can effectively get what you want in return from your life.

Lee Mozena of Zena Consulting will share personal branding ideas and give examples of how your brand can best stand out among the rest. Feel like you’ve got your personal brand down? Tell your students about this opportunity to learn to more effectively market themselves to employers.

More details of Lee’s services are found on her Linkedin page at:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/leemozena

Great conversation and networking opportunities (along with quality coffee and snacks, compliments of Central Market) await you!

When: Friday, February 27, 1:00-2:30 p.m.
Where: Shoreline Community College, Room 5116, Building 5000 (ground floor)
