THURSDAY
An Iliad
concerning endless political cycles of rage and violence
“An Iliad is the best play I’ve ever seen, end of story. Everything about it is amazing – the acting, the music (and Anna’s playing of the cello!), the words that are in the script. Sometimes people say stories are always relevant (this happens a lot with, like, Shakespeare), but An Iliad is a modern play that uses, twists, and celebrates an ancient, intense, and furious text, and earns every bit of the word relevant.”
“Rejoice is one of my favorite companies to watch, they’re 100% fun even when they’re talking about the most serious shit. Presenting their survey of black protest and power is a highlight for me, and I’m so excited to share it.”
“Tipping Point wrenched out my god damn heart. I can’t think of a more important thing for a Portlander to spend an evening experiencing before Nov. 5th. We’re not just voting in national politics – we’ve got some serious things to think about closer to home.”
SATURDAY
Election Anti-Party Showcase
concerning what comes next (according to the clowns, weirdos, and artists)
“Moment to moment, we’ll all find something incredible, like we’ve stepped into the coolest experimental theater dive bar imaginable. But taken together, all 20 of the pieces, one after another… that’s going to be a unique experience. My hope is that this showcase is like inviting your 20 coolest friends over to give you personalized endorsements for politics (and maybe how to live your life, too).”
