DESCRIPTION:Theatre 33\, in residence at Willamette University\, is a new play development company that helps Oregon/NW playwrights develop their new scripts from our 60-hour rehearsed workshop production (fully designed lights\, sound\, props\, set\, costumes\, and entirely blocked with scripts in hand) to a world-premiere full production. \nBe Witch \nby Rob Smith\nAll Kendra has ever wanted is to be a witch. Sadly\, her magik (with a K)\, doesn’t make for the most solid career. Down on her luck and with nowhere else to go\, Kendra moves in with her brother\, Huey. The fun doesn’t last long and sibling tension grows as Huey tries to help his sister find a “real job” while running his business\, paying all the bills\, and most importantly\, becoming the best bowler he can be. On the edge of losing everything\, Kendra finally makes a breakthrough and gets the attention of one of the most prominent Covens in the world of Magik. Now if she wants in; it’s the Coven’s way or the no-Magik highway. Can Kendra achieve her dream without pushing away the one person who has always had her back? \n\nAugust 5 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 8 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 11 @ 7 p.m.\nAugust 14 @ 7 p.m.

SUMMARY:Flag Day
DESCRIPTION:Join the B-17 Alliance Foundation at McNary Field – Salem\, Oregon\, in honor of celebrating National Flag Day\, celebrated by Americans on June 14.\n\n\n\n\nLearn about the United States flag\, history\, and receive a free small flag giveaway.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlag Day is also called National holiday Flag Day in the United States.  A day to honor and fly our national flag. The holiday commemorates June 14\, 1777\, when the United States approved the design for its first national flag. \nThe idea to set aside a day to honor the national flag came from several sources. Bernard J. Cigrand\, a Wisconsin schoolteacher\, in 1885 urged his students to observe June 14 as “Flag Birthday.” He later wrote an essay published in a Chicago newspaper that urged Americans to proclaim this date as the day to celebrate the flag.  In 1888 William T. Kerr of Pennsylvania founded the American Flag Day Association of Western Pennsylvania\, an organization to which he dedicated his life. A lesser-known claim is that of George Morris of Connecticut\, who is said to have organized the first formal celebration of the day in Hartford in 1861. \nIn 1916 Pres. Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 as the official date for Flag Day\, and in 1949 the U.S. Congress permanently established the date as National Flag Day. Although Flag Day is not an official federal holiday\, Pennsylvania celebrates the day as a state holiday. Each year the U.S. president delivers an address that proclaims the week of June 14 as National Flag Week\, and all Americans are encouraged to fly U.S. flags during that week. \nJoin B-17 Alliance on Saturday\, June 13\, 2026\, to honor traditions and our American flag.

SUMMARY:The Marshall Tucker Band
DESCRIPTION:When you wake up and want to put a smile on your face\, you think of the songs that always manage to reach down and touch your soul the moment you hear the first note. The Marshall Tucker Band is one such group that continues to have a profound level of impact on successive generations of listeners who’ve been “Searchin’ for a Rainbow” and found it perfectly represented by this tried-and-true Southern institution over the decades. “I’ve been in tune with how music can make you feel\, right from when I was first in the crib\,” explains lead vocalist and bandleader Doug Gray\, who’s been fronting the MTB since the very beginning. “I was born with that. And I realized it early on\, back when I was a little kid and my mom and dad encouraged me to get up there and sing whatever song came on the jukebox. It got to the point where people were listening to me more than what was on the jukebox! There’s a certain gift I found I could share\, whether I was in front of five people or 20\,000 people. I was blessed with that ability and I’m thankful I can share with others.”\n\nThe Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young\, hungry\, and quite driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg\, South Carolina in 1972\, having duly baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe ever since. Plus\, the band’s mighty music catalog\, consisting of more than 20 studio albums and a score of live releases\, has racked up multi-platinum album sales. A typically rich MTB setlist is bubbling over with a healthy dose of hits like the heartfelt singalong “Heard It in a Love Song\,” the insistent pleading of “Can’t You See” (the signature tune of MTB’s late co-founding lead guitarist and then-principal songwriter Toy Caldwell)\, the testifying “Fire on the Mountain\,” the wanderlust gallop of “Long Hard Ride\,” and the explosive testimony of “Ramblin\,’” to name but a few.\n\nIndeed\, the secret ingredient to the ongoing success of The Marshall Tucker Band’s influence can be seen and felt far and wide throughout many mainstream digital outlets (Netflix\, Amazon\, etc.). In essence\, it’s this inimitable down-home sonic style that helped make the MTB the first truly progressive Southern band to grace this nation’s airwaves — the proof of which can be found within the grooves of “Take the Highway\,” the first song on their self-titled April 1973 debut album on Capricorn Records\, The Marshall Tucker Band. “We had the commonality of having all grown up together in Spartanburg\,” explains Gray about his original MTB bandmates\, guitar wizard Toy Caldwell and his brother\, bassist Tommy Caldwell\, alongside rhythm guitarist George McCorkle\, drummer Paul T. Riddle\, and flautist/saxophonist Jerry Eubanks.\n\nDoug Gray sees no end to the road that lies ahead for The Marshall Tucker Band\, whose legacy is being carried forward by the man himself and his current bandmates\, drummer B.B. Borden (Mother’s Finest\, The Outlaws)\, bassist/vocalist Ryan Ware\, keyboardist/saxophonist/flautist/vocalist Marcus James Henderson\, guitarist/vocalist Chris Hicks\, and guitarist/vocalist Rick Willis.“People ask me all the time what I’m gonna do when I turn 80\, and I always say\, ‘The same thing that we’re continuing to do now.’ We’re road warriors\, there’s no doubt about that — and I don’t intend to slow down.” May the MTB wagon train continue running like the wind on a long hard ride for many more years to come. One thing we absolutely know for sure: If you heard it in a Marshall Tucker Band song\, it certainly can’t be wrong.
