Driving Miss Daisy first production
Viramonte on Theatre Works board

Michael Learned has been booked by Innovation Theatre Works, a new professional theatre company in Bend, which is seeking to bring nationally-known actors to Central Oregon for four productions a year.
   Madras resident Ted Viramonte, who is chairman of the nonprofit theatre's board, said Learned (of "The Waltons" fame) will star in the group's inaugural production of "Driving Miss Daisy" at The Tower Theatre in downtown Bend.
   The play will run Sept. 20 through Oct. 5, with tickets priced at $45, $35, and $25. Student and senior discounts are available. Call the box office at 317-0700 to purchase tickets.
   Viramonte, who is the only Jefferson County representative on the board, commented, "I've been involved in the arts since I was young and this is an extension of that. I am proud to be associated with Innovation Theatre Works and its staff. I am hopeful of many more quality productions with very recognizable names coming to Central Oregon."
