Cinderella and the Enabling Habit

Photos from the Olympic Theater Arts Production of a Panto by Shannon Cosgrove*

Valentine’s Day was a real hoot this year, and hoot we did as we watched local area actors perform this hilarious comedy production, featuring not only the above actors, but many others, most of which were junior high schoolers.

The colorful costumes, decorations and the set were all photo-worthy, and although I grabbed a few phone shots to share, I was kicking myself for not bringing my Sony and a long lens.

Although the acoustics were not the best, and it got a bit loud at times, the production was delightful and I can’t remember when I’ve laughed more!

The show has been sold out but an additional performance was added for February 22, so if you haven’t seen, I highly recommend it!

As the OTA explains, “PA Panto has found a new home at OTA.  Pantos provide comedic, over-the-top, mixed up fairy tales with interactive booing and cheering for an evening you have to experience for yourself. This year’s production of Cinderella and the Enabling Habit is no exception.  Join Cindy in the kingdom of Sequiminham, as she navigates through her stepsisters’ needs, Lady Tremayne’s demands, Lord Prince’s grand ball. It’s all set in OTA’s Gathering Hall, for an intimate, immersive audience experience.”

Enjoy!

Olympic Peninsula Audubon Members – Please join us for this FREE event this evening:

Tonight, a dozen Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society member photographers will be presenting a collection of their photos along with narrative about where, when and how they recorded them.

I will be among them, and the above is a sampling of the local photos I’ll be presenting. I’ll also be displaying several of the ones I’ve photographed in Argentina, California, and Florida, while the other photographers will have varying collections as well, all of which are impressive.

If you’re a member, great, but if not, please consider signing up. I hate to leave anyone out! So here’s a link to their website: https://olympicpeninsulaaudubon.org/membership

The presentation will also be presented on Zoom for those members who would rather attend in their jammies.

Small town celebrations are the BEST!

Halloween night Washington (Sequim’s “main” street) was SWARMING with lil cuties in costume. Our rain shadow held and no one got wet! Big shout out to all the businesses in downtown who had booths and handed out candy and treats. It was an awesome turn out…sometimes you forget how many kids we actually have in Sequim!

This group was handing out books…

Downtown was the place to see and be seen!

Sequim Lavender Festival–for the generations

This lil cutie was running all around Lost Mountain lavender. She clearly has just learned to RUN and didn’t want to stop. I asked mom if I could photo her. She said yeas and told me that this was her daughters 1st time to the festival, and that she and her mom had come for decades. So I asked if she would like a photo of the three of them…it’s a good story.
