Amazon Smile Program

Do you know about the Amazon Smile Program?

If you purchase almost any item from Amazon, Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price to the non profit organization of your choice.  There is no additional cost to you as the purchaser.  How does it work?  Instead of going to www.amazon.com, go to https://smile.amazon.com.  The first time you enter, it will ask you to select the non profit you want to receive your donation.  After that, just sign in to https://smile.amazon.com instead of www.amazon.com and everything will be the same – except that the non profit you chose will get a donation based on what you buy.  Note:  Occasionally, some items sold are not part of the smile program.

New LED lights at ATOI!

For the last  year, we have been searching for suitable energy efficient LED lights to replace our current incandescent lighting.

Early this year, we identified two fixtures that meet our needs and save about 90% of the  power of our existing lighting.  In April we applied for a $15,000 grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation.  We have already invested  $3,000 received from donations so our balance was $12,000.

Last week we received a grant from OICF for $12,000 to enable us to finish this project in a few weeks rather than the years it would have taken otherwise.  We will have then installed and in operation by the time you  see our next full production at the Grange.  We will also use these lights in our summer Readers Theater program.

THANKS TO ALL WHO DONATED TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!!!!

 

 

Workshops

July Improv Workshop

We have an experienced Improv instructor coming to Orcas in early
July.  Let us know if you want to attend a three or four session
training program.  The program will focus on Improv for actors but will be equally valuable for people who just want to learn Improv.  No lines to memorize!!!!

Readers Theater

Reader’s Theater 2018

We expect have our Summer Readers Theater program again this
summer.

Our Readers Theater productions are quick and easy: No
memorizing lines, very few rehearsals, and just a couple of performances over one weekend. We are looking for people to direct two of the three productions we plan to do this summer. If you have experience directing but haven’t found a play you want to direct, let us know and we can help you find a suitable play.

As in the past, we do not hold auditions for our Readers Theater program. If you want to be considered for a role in one of our Readers Theater productions, let us know.
