Theater Ballet Looking For New Dancers

Better break in those tutus. Theatre Ballet of Spokane, 408 W. Sprague, will conduct auditions for new dancers on Wednesday between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m.

Gary Caven, an accomplished dancer and choreographer who started his dance training in Spokane, will judge. Caven received an American Choreography award nomination for a jazz ballet ensemble he directed called Opus Dance Ensemble. He currently resides in Southern California where he teaches and owns a dancewear shop.

All dancers must be at least 12 years old, dancing at an advanced level and attending classes three times a week.

For further details, call 838-5705.

Kudos to local artist

A lot has been happening for local watercolor painter Lynne Lewis.

One of her paintings, “Bison,” will hang at the Northwest Watercolor Society’s 56th annual exhibition, opening at the Howard Mandville Gallery in Seattle on May 30. It was selected from 745 entries.

Secondly, another of her paintings, “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” will be included in a series of 1996 holiday greeting cards issued by the Children’s Hospital Guild Association.

The cards, which benefit the center, will be available in September. More than 425,000 copies of the edition will be circulated around the globe.
