The Downtown Camas Association (DCA) and Journey Community Church received the Community Partnership award at Washington Main Street’s Excellence on Main Awards Ceremony. The ceremony was held last week in conjunction with RevitalizeWA, Washington State’s Preservation and Main Street Conference.

“The partnership between DCA and Journey is a unique example of the power of having a shared vision for downtown,” says Breanne Durham, Washington State Main Street Coordinator.

The partnership with Journey makes year-round, free community events feasible for DCA by providing a large venue during poor weather, volunteers to help run promotions, and activities for children. Events like Girls’ Night Out, Camas Car Show, Plant & Garden Fair, and DCA’s Annual Awards Dinner rely on the unique community space.

The Excellence on Main Awards recognize communities, organizations, and individuals who are helping to achieve economic vitality and build sustainable communities through downtown revitalization and preservation.

The Willamette Radio Workshop will perform two live radio dramas examining Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4. The Willamette Radio Workshop reenacts historic radio dramas for live audiences. Each production begins with a live re-creation of a drama, complete with voice actors, sound artists, digital and multimedia components.

Directed by Sam A. Mowry, the dramas are episodes from the radio series Gunsmoke and The Shadow. The performance is part of the Re-Imagined Radio project produced by John Barber, faculty member in WSU Vancouver’s Creative Media and Digital Culture Program. “These radio dramas were written and performed long before there was a name for or understanding about PTSD,” Barber says. “But the effects were real and provided the basis for great storytelling and critical thinking.”

The performance is free and open to the public at the Kiggins Theatre, 1011 Main St., Vancouver. Doors open at 6 p.m. Concessions, beer and wine will be available for purchase.
