Join the WHS Drama Club for an entertaining evening of both absurd comedy and haunting drama in two one-act plays. Tickets are $10 and $8, available at Pak-it-Rite, 126 N. Wenatchee Ave., Wenachee. Directed by Paul Atwood. Chamber Music is the bizarre, humorous story of eight famous women from history, incarcerated in an insane asylum in 1938, where they hold their annual “board meeting.” The women are -- or at least believe they are -- author Gertrude Stein, martyr Joan of Arc, activist Susan B. Anthony, politician Queen Isabella of Spain, Constanze Mozart (wife of the famed composer), pilot Amelia Earhart, silent film actress Pearl White, and explorer Osa Johnson. Sing To Me Through Open Windows is a strange and whimsical coming-of-age story featuring a male cast of three. At the heart of the story is the paternal relationship between aging magician Ottoman Judd and schoolboy Andrew. Each year at the beginning of spring the windows are opened and Andrew visits his hero to relive the wonder of magic. But this year is different. The story is a meditation on aging, lost childhood magic and the slow closing of the fantastic world we leave behind.

When pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring in 1962, the backlash from her critics thrust her into the center of a political maelstrom. Despite her love of privacy, Carson’s convictions and her foresight regarding the risks posed by chemical pesticides forced her into a very public and controversial role. In this documentary-style film, Kaiulani Lee embodies this extraordinary woman in the final year of her life. Film sponsored by Native Plant Society; series presented by WVMCC, Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, Trust for Public Land. Suggested donation $5.
