Superior Donuts Valley Center Stage, North Bend
Do-nut miss this great local production of a funny and thought-provoking play. April 7-9 Last chance!
After a visit to Georgia’s Bakery – where I snacked on the delicious cronut – I went upstairs to the Village Theatre to see the Superior Donuts production!
My last experience with community theater wasn’t that great, so I didn’t have high expectations going in, however, just seeing the set I could tell that this show was going to be good. Care and detail had been put into the set. The walls of the donut ‘shop’ were made to look old and outdated. They even had a fake view to the outside with an open sign and everything!
If you get a chance, I would highly recommend this play!

Writing Tip: Keep it Handy – Victoria Bastedo
Another great writing tip from FVP Featured Author, Victoria Bastedo:
Make a way to keep a record of creative thoughts while you’re out and about. Put a notepad in your purse or coat pocket, or figure out the Voice Recorder app on your phone. You have to be purposeful about this or you’ll lose some great inspirational moments.
Many writers know that they have creative thoughts while they’re driving. Or you might hear a great conversation or see an intriguing sight at the park or the gas station. ‘I’ll have to remember this idea so I can do something with it later…’ is a risky decision. For me, I never remember it all later. Later I can only think- ‘but it sounded so clever when I had the bright idea in the car!’

One last tip on this subject; you might have great ideas while in the shower. Don’t bring your phone app in there!
