Some theater history in Sandy, Oregon
In 1976 a small group of dedicated lovers of live community theater formed
the One Way Theatre and became the Sandy Community Players in 1979. They
were not the first in Sandy or the East Clackamas County to begin striving for theat-
rical excellence.
From the archives of Miles Aubin, compiled from news accounts through
the years, we read:
“Boring, June 20, 1922—Saturday evening Boring enjoyed the home talent pro-
duction of a drama entitled Civil Service. Previous advertising of the play by those
who witnessed rehearsals through the crack in the broken window pane, rumors of
the comic make-up, and the cute parts created a keen anticipation.
The house, filled to capacity, breathlessly watched the drama of Post Office
embezzlement, diamond theft, and mistaken identity. After the play, cake and ice
cream were sold, and to thaw out the innards, a free dance was given at Waller’
new hall.”
“Sandy, May 11, 1918—High School Entertainment was a huge success. The
IOOF hall was crowded when the Sandy High School put on their annual program
last Saturday night. The first part of the evening was devoted to patriotic tableaux
and opened with The Star Spangled Banner. Then followed a comedy, Father
Changed His Mind, and after seeing it, nobody blamed Father for changing his
mind.”
SCP became known for producing musical productions with elaborate sets and costumes, and for a time fo-cused its children's theater. In 1999 began a full season each year of comedy, drama, and chil-dren's productions. In the summer of 2000, the name was changed again—to Sandy Actors Thea-tre— to better reflect our commit-ment to continually raise the level of our production values.

Transportation business from livery stable to car dealer-
ship on the Barlow Road
Long before the streets of Sandy were paved, long before the horse-drawn carriages of another era were finally gone, the community hosted many travelers. In the earliest days, the travelers were headed west along the Barlow Trail run-ning right through the heart of Sandy before making their way through Eagle Creek on the road to Oregon City. Later, majestic Mt. Hood summoned Portlanders to enjoy the beauty and bounty of the mountain as a recreation area.
One Sandy business has drawn remarkable attention to the southwest corner of Pioneer Boulevard and Meinig Avenue. The early photo shows Sandy Stage Livery and Feed Store on that location. From Sandy's early days as a burgeoning village, the location on the Barlow Trail marked the location for transportation.
Sandy suffered a devastating fire in 1913, and both busi-nesses were destroyed. R.S. "Bob" Smith bought the bare property and put up a wood frame garage and service sta-tion. He also began to do business as an automobile dealer-ship selling Brisco, Durant, Star and other early brands. In 1924, he switched to become a Ford dealership and re-mained so for 30 years. In the 1950s, he changed his affilia-tion to Studebaker.
In 1935, R.S. Smith and his wife Vera took down the wood structure and replaced it with the fireproof building seen to-day. In the past decade, the building has served as an an-tique mall and a bicycle shop, among other businesses.
