SUMMARY:Author Event: C. W. Armbrust - Cibola
DESCRIPTION:Set in the sixteenth century in a field in central Guatemala\, Franciscan friar Marcos de Niza is busy working with the local people\, teaching them efficient farming methods aimed at increasing production to cope with the rapidly growing population of New Spain. He also enjoys teaching the local villagers common languages used for trade with the Spanish settlers and the population throughout the New World. From Mexico City\, a thousand miles away\, the bishop has selected the friar\, drafting him into service on an expedition to explore the unknown regions far north of the subtropical region where he has served his mission so well. He is to join the expedition where he will explore new territories and encounter the people of Tierra Nueva. \nThrough unexpected events and turns of fortune\, the friar becomes the leader of a massive expedition commissioned by the viceroy of New Spain. His new mission was to seek out the riches of these new lands and establish contact with Indigenous people who had not been previously encountered. \nThe unsuspecting friar blazes a trail into history with his expedition that triggers a shift in the future of New Spain and the new land of Tierra Nueva\, eventually to become the lands of Mexico and the southwest US. \nThe friar has long since faded into the background of history\, despite being an influential figure in the transformation of Spain’s economic structure and paving the way for Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s infamous mission to conquer the cities of Cibola\, which followed in his footsteps.

SUMMARY:Author Event: Alain J. Otárola - Life Among the Willows
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy (a signed copy of) this collection of vividly told stories about the author’s early years in the Chilean Andes. Each vignette captures the innocence\, humor\, cruelty\, and wonder that shaped the author’s childhood. Whether rooted in ordinary experiences\, such as going to the market with his mother\, seeing ghosts\, and hiking in the mountains\, or in extraordinary events\, such as a grandmother with an unusual profession or a brother kidnapped by the military dictatorship\, each story stands on its own while contributing to a larger meditation on childhood\, loss\, and memory.

SUMMARY:COME FROM AWAY
DESCRIPTION:Selah Theatre Project Premieres “Come From Away” \nWinchester\, VA – Selah Theatre Project is proud to announce the opening of their first community theatre musical Come From Away at The Vivienne L. Jackson Sanctuary for the Arts (VLJ)\, a new community arts center located at 302 N. Braddock Street in Winchester\, Virginia. Come From Away by Irene Sankoff and David Hein is a powerful story of unexpected kindness\, and community following the aftermath of 9/11. Directed by Bleu Do’zia\, music directed by Amber Shayeb\, and choreographed by Jason Conrad\, Come From Away opens on September 11\, 2026\, marking the 25th anniversary of the tragedy that gripped the world. The production will run September 11-13 & September 18-20\, 2026. \nCome From Away is the inspiring\, true story of 7\,000 passengers stranded in the small town of Gander\, Newfoundland\, in the aftermath of September 11\, 2001. When their planes were unexpectedly diverted\, the passengers found themselves welcomed by a community of strangers who opened their homes\, shared their food\, and offered compassion during an extraordinary moment of uncertainty. With a powerful score\, unforgettable characters\, and a remarkable story of kindness\, Come From Away celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the connections that can emerge in the most unexpected circumstances. Filled with humor\, heart\, and soaring music\, this award-winning musical reminds us that even in the darkest moments\, there is hope\, and that strangers can become friends when we need one another most.\n“As I near the possibility of no longer being as active in theatre\, I am looking to do shows with purpose. This show has such a beautiful purpose” shared Joanne Thompson\, actress playing Hannah\, a character who has to reckon with the possible loss of her son while stranded in Gander\, “It reminds us of humanity\, and the good that happens when we come together and care for one another. I hope audiences will feel the compassion captured in this show.” \nTickets are $20 per person. This highly anticipated production is expected to sell out\, pre-purchase is recommended.\nFor more information on how to access tickets you can email box office manager\, Amber Shayeb at amber@selahtheatreproject.org or call 540-260-4030.
