While the number 13 might have a spooky reputation, here in Astoria, our missing 13th Street has a story of its own! Back in 1843, when Astoria’s street grid was being laid out, a little disagreement between surveyors meant that 13th Street… well, never made it. But don’t worry! You can find a one-block remnant of 13th St. between Exchange and Duane—right behind our historic theater!
Now, we can't promise Jason will still be hanging around, but the Liberty Theatre has nearly 100 years of history and mystery to share! Come explore... if you dare. Learn more about our shows and events at libertyastoria.org!

Calling all Oregon individual performing artists! We are helping to spread the word regarding this exciting funding opportunity. There is a VERY tight deadline - don't wait!
"The James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation believes that the arts connect us to each other in powerful and surprising ways and help us make sense of our world. By celebrating the vital role artists play in enriching the lives of all Oregonians, we recognize that artists are essential to our state’s vitality.
For over two decades, the Foundation has funded the arts throughout Oregon, primarily through supporting the work of arts organizations. We are now pleased to introduce our new Spark Award for Oregon Artists, a pilot program that will provide direct support to 60 artists across artistic disciplines who are at a midpoint of their career.
The Miller Foundation will grant $25,000 to each artist selected. Funds can address any barriers to sustaining and advancing your artistic practice, offering time to explore, reflect, connect, or create work at a particularly important moment in your creative development. 2024's focus is on performing artists: Individual artists creating original work in the performing arts: dance, music, theater, and other performance practices, traditional and folk performance, Culture Bearers and interdisciplinary artists whose work includes the performing arts as one of the primary forms of expression."
Learn more: https://www.millerfound.org/grants/artists-grant-program. Please be sure to share this with fellow artists and performers!

We've released a few more tickets for Fran Lebowitz on Sept 24! Get them now at libertyastoria.org
Her essays and interviews offer her acerbic views on current events and the media – as well as pet peeves including tourists, baggage-claim areas, after-shave lotion, adults who roller skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. The New York Times Book Review calls Lebowitz an "important humorist in the classic tradition." Purveyor of urban cool, Lebowitz is a cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker.

Plan 9 From Outer Space at The Liberty Theatre
Friday, October 27th, you'll have to see it to believe it! Plan 9 From Outer Space! The Oregon Film Museum and the Astoria International Film Festival present an evening of Vampira. Actress Maila Nurmi—better known as her alter-ego, TV’s original horror host Vampira—lived in Astoria from 1939-1941, graduating from high school here and working to save enough money to try her hand at Hollywood fame. Before starring in her character’s eponymously-named Vampira Show or in director Ed Wood’s cult-classic Plan 9 from Outer Space, Maila passed her days in Astoria dancing the jitterbug and driving the local bookmobile. The evening will begin with a Q & A with Vampira’s niece, Sandra Niemi, author of the biography “Glamour Ghoul: The Passions and Pain of the Real Vampira.” Following the Q & A, we will show Plan 9 from Outer Space. 7:00p on October 27th at the Liberty Theatre. This is a FREE EVENT
