Brooks presents violin recital

Liberty Bell High School senior Keeley Brooks offers a free violin recital from 3-5 p.m. at the TwispWorks Pavilion on Saturday (May 29).

Brooks, 17, has been playing the violin for 11 1/2 years, and studied with local teacher Pam Hunt. In 2013, she was the first winner of the Christine Cherrington Merit Award Competition, and in 2018 was a silver medalist in a strings division of the Spokane MusicFest Northwest Competition. In 2018, she won the Wenatchee Symphony’s Angela Schuster Svendsen Memorial Young Musician Competition and made her concerto debut.

Please wear a mask, bring your own chair or blanket, and observe social distancing.

Merc summer theater camp

The Merc Playhouse will offer a summer theater camp this June with the theme “Reimagined Tales as Old as Time.”

The camp will take place from June 28 to July 2 in three groups — students entering grades nine through 12 will practice from 9 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., students entering grades five through eight will practice from 9 a.m. to noon and students entering grades second through fourth will practice from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Final performances will take place on Saturday, July 3, at the TwispWorks Pavilion.

Most camp activities will take place outdoors and students are asked to wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and wear a mask. Students should also bring water and a snack.

Information on registering is available at mercplayhouse.org. Tuition costs $150 with a $50 deposit at registration. Some scholarships are available.

Events at TwispWorks

TwispWorks will offer a series of “Saturday After the Market” presentations at the TwispWorks Pavilion later this summer:

• The Marcus Duke and George Schneider Duo, from noon-2 p.m. on Aug. 7.

• “Improv at the Pavilion,” presented by local comedy troupe the Careless Twispers, from noon-2 p.m. on Aug. 14.

• “Photography at the Pavilion,” with Wil Chandler, from noon-2 p.m. on Aug. 21.

• “Native Storytelling,” an afternoon with Arnie Marchand, at noon on Aug. 28.

The free events are supported by a donation from the Vogt Family Foundation. For information, visit www.TwispWorks.org.
