Once again I am moved by what Orcas Center has offered to us. After many decades and after MANY  many wonderful musicals / plays / and other events, I am again truly inspired  on Why Orcas Center was conceived , built and is here for our community.

An  exposure of a  massive wave of talent was presented through “The Roasted Nut.” The decades of volunteers to continue this wonderful place is astonishing . Starting with supporting membership . committee involvement. trustee leadership , ushers. bar tenders. back stage hands .fund raising heroes , gardeners ,  $$ donors , etc .etc . and of course the wonderful talented people and productions that we come to see.

If you  saw “The Roasted Nut” you understand  the warm fuzzy  feeling.  If other productions may have been more  your “thing “ Orcas Center still is the HEART of the island and we all need to hold it dear in all the ways we can  for it’s  continuing success. Complements to innovation of new ideas  by our director & staff.
