    Ehtne Eesti satiir, populaarsed näitlejad Egon Nuter ja Andrus Vaarik
    Authentic Estonian Theater with popular actors Egon Nuter and Andrus Vaarik

    Orav ja Meri

    Nagu pealkirigi ütleb, mängivad näitlejad legendaarseid tegelasi Ivan Oravat ja Meri (Lennart Meri), kes sedapuhku kirjutuslauda pööningult alla veavad. See füüsiline töö käib aga korüfeedele ilmselt üle jõu ja nii nad sisustavadki aega kehakinnitamise, väikse napsi ja vaimuka vestlusega, mida eesti koomikute koorekihti kuuluvad Egon Nuter ja Andrus Vaarik laval säravalt esitavad.

    Orav and Meri

    This is an amusing story about the legendary Ivan Orav and Meri (Lennart Meri). The pair attempts to move a writing table down from the attic. Such an effort is too much for the codgers so they pause to eat, have a drink and engage in a witty conversation. Top Estonian comedians Egon Nuter and Andrus Vaarik are brilliant in their roles as these two historical figures. They have been playing these roles for years, but as there is room for improvisation every play is unique and special.

  • LEP 2011 – Thank You!

    LEP2011

    Lääneranniku Eesti Päevad 2011

    We did it ! Together, we brought nearly 800 participants to LEP2011 to celebrate world- class Estonian music, folk dance, and many other aspects of our cultural heritage. That’s more than 200 over our goal! We worked hard during the festival, and all our events occurred with great success. The performances were awe-inspiring, and the participants returned home with wonderful memories.
    We are grateful for the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication all of you brought as volunteers to LEP2011. Thank you for the generous donation of your time and efforts !
    By all of our volunteer efforts, we set a wonderful example for LEP 2013, and demonstrated the power of individuals working together to create a remarkable festival.
    Leo Rosten, noted academic and humorist, wrote “The purpose of life is not to be happy – but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.” We are fortunate to belong to a community that places great value on volunteerism. Our combined efforts to en- hance Estonian cultural life in our community have made a difference in all of our lives.
    Thank you very much for your tremendous help with organizing our great celebration of Estonian culture and ethnicity in Portland !
