Update:  Comments are closed but I wanted to throw in my compliments on this outstanding performance.  What an amazing and fun event, and the final performance had a HUGE crowd.  I am very much looking forward to welcoming Atomic Arts back next summer as the voyage continues…bravo.  Send your comments on the performance and any updates or photo links to us Website //at// GoWoodlawn.com and a new story will be created in the future.

Woodlawn Park has a under-utilized amphitheater that has always been on my radar. What could we do there?  When I first moved to the neighborhood, I envisioned performances from the kids at the school, story telling, music shows by the musicians in the nieghborhood, commuinty meetings and more.  Years later, it’s finally happeneing!  And the coolness starts this weekend.  Well, coolness for use, geekiness for content – and I mean that very lovingly.

Atomic Arts is presenting a LIVE free performance of the classic Star Trek episode “Amok Time” at the Woodlawn Park amphitheater. Witness Mr. Spock undergo the bizarre and brutal Vulcan marriage ritual of PON FARR as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise attempt to save him before it’s too late!!

Portland actors, accompanied by live music and effects, will bring this classic piece of television to life! Spend a day in the park, bring a picnic and BOLDLY GO!!

Dates are July 11, 12, 18, 19, 25 and 26 at 5 pm (note time change!). For more info contact AdamRosko //at// Gmail.com.

Tierra Educational Center, a locally owned Spanish and Latin American Cultural Center has opened in NE Portland to help bridge the communication and cultural gap between the growing Hispanic population and the community at large. The center offers quality and affordable Spanish classes for all levels, as well as special courses in topics specific to Latin American Culture and History. Tierra also hosts a free Spanish Conversation Club every Friday from 6-8pm, with guided discussion, guest speakers and film screenings pertaining to Latin American issues.

People of Hispanic descent account for 7% (an estimated 38,684 people) of the population in Portland, and these numbers continue to rise. It is becoming increasingly imperative that professional service fields are staffed with bilingual employees, and that the community develops a greater level of awareness pertaining to Latin American issues.
