[Coast Culture] A Long Way Back to the Coast: Livanna Maislen’s triumphant return to local theater for the upcoming production of 4000 Miles

The Oregon Coast becomes something you carry with you, not something you expect to return to in a professional capacity. But for Livanna Maislen, an actor, dancer, and yogi based in San Francisco after years of work in New York’s theater ecosystem, returning to the Oregon Coast to appear in the upcomin

[Coast Culture] R.L. “Talley” Woodmark—Building Light, Legacy, and Community on the Oregon Coast
On the central Oregon Coast, art is no longer a scattered curiosity tucked between souvenir shops and fishing docks. Today it forms a collaborative ecosystem of galleries, artists, authors, and community spaces that draw visitors year-round—a transformation closely tied to Talley Woodmark.
