The new kids on the block, so to say, visited Verne in the studio to talk about their very first performance in Coeur d'Alene this weekend. The Cascade Artists is a new theatrical ensemble dedicated to dramatic projects of all levels in hopes of bringing more depth to the Spokane theater culture. Verne talked with founding members Cody Bray, Aimee Paxton, and Chris Hanson. Their first major project includes two performances of a play called Tribes. The Cascade Artists will present this staged reading on Friday, May 20th at Emerge in CDA and Saturday, May 21st at The Art Spirit Gallery in CDA.
