July 17th – Robert Salberg, CET Director, Children’s Theater Program
On July 24 the Rotary program will feature a drama skit by students of the Children’s Educational Theater known as CET. The program takes place in June and July every Summer and features several plays that are presented during that time. The brainchild of CET was the legendary Phyllis Quanbeck, the former Drama teacher at South Salem High School. The current executive director of CET is Robert Salberg – who is also the drama teacher at Howard Street School. Their director and teacher of this play is Allie Saucy – a very skilled and experienced drama director.
This is a program you don’t want to miss.
Program Chair: Karl Raschkes
Meeting Location: Willamette Heritage Center – Dye House
