Who runs the world? GIRLS! In 1793, during France’s Reign of Terror — a playwright, an assassin, a former queen, and a Caribbean spy walk into a room and attempt to save the soul of France while avoiding the edge of the guillotine’s blade. Olympe De Gouges is desperate to pen the perfect piece of revolutionary art for her generation, while Charlotte Corday is determined to become an assassin. Prophetic Marie Antoinette is happy to reminisce about her time in the palace while Marianne Angelle gathers intelligence to send home to the Caribbean. In a blisteringly funny portrayal, The Revolutionists depicts four badass women who fight for the equality of all women and for the love of their country.

We welcome to Thursdays @ Three the Rose City Brass Quintet! They will give us a preview of their upcoming debut recital which will span the canon of brass quintet literature, from one of the earliest quintets by a late romantic Russian composer, Victor Ewald, to a piece by Eugene Bozza that was written in France in 1953, to Michael Tilson Thomas’ Streetsongs, and others in between.
On the second half of the show is internationally-acclaimed guitarist Alfredo Muro, who is performing in Oregon as part of the Siempre La Guitarra tour (“Always the Guitar” or “Forever the Guitar”). We are thrilled that can spread his love of performing, composing, and teaching with the T@T listeners!

Event Details
From the creator of The Reunion, The Dinner and Fallout, Carol Triffle puts up her latest work Pebble. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, Pebble is a study in missed connections, conflicting impulses and thwarted desires, and a prismatic exploration of loneliness and what it means to be an outsider – or an artist. Pebble yearns to be touched by another, but spends most of her days with jigsaw puzzles and a deck of cards. She flirts recklessly with the Medical Orderly and harbors distrust of Nurse Megan, who chirpily promises special treatments via loudspeaker bulletins until, one day, a mysterious visitor comes to see her. In his presence, things begin to unravel, and buried emotions are given release through song, dance, and pills shared like snacks.
Pebble features a strong ensemble of veteran Imago performers – Danielle Vermette as the mercurial Pebble, Kyle Delamarter as the mysterious Nick, Jon Farley as the Medical Orderly and Megan Skye Hale as Nurse Megan.
Pebble is part of Imago Theatre’s Next Wave Festival. Thu/Fri/Sat 7:30 and only one Sunday show on May 12th at 2:00.

Event Details
The clever little Fox is oh so fond of stealing delicious apples from all corners of Grimm’s Forest. But when the Witch catches Fox stealing apples from her garden, she curses Fox, vowing to turn him into a bug unless he is able to complete three challenges to change his ways of trickery and deceit. Fox sets off on a journey to help the daughter of a king, a boastful tailor, and a wicked stepsister in a brand new story that weaves together characters from Grimm’s The Frog Prince, The Brave Little Tailor, and the lesser-known The Three Little Men in the Wood. Over the course of his journey, Fox learns to value loyalty, honesty, and kindness, and in the end, truly becomes a helpful little Fox.
The Helpful Little Fox… is Bag&Baggage’s second world-premiere adaptation created specifically for young audiences (aged 6-10) through the Emerging Artist Program; the show is researched, written, designed, and performed by Olivia Anderson, Kai Hennig, Jurnee Neeko, and Darwin Pringle.
Suggested age: 6-10, but enjoyable for all audiences! $5 all ages; lap children 3 and under are free. We do not have booster seats available in the theater, but seating is tiered. Feel free to bring a pillow if you think you’ll need a boost!

Event Details
A choral concert, inspired by Emily Dickinson’s poetry and life, is set to have its world premiere at 7:30 p.m., May 31 and June 1 at First Congregational United Church of Christ – Portland.
“Letters From Emily,” is choral experience featuring songs inspired by the great American poet’s famous works, including “Hope Is The Thing With Feathers,” “I’ll Tell You How The Sun Rose,” and “I Shall Not Live in Vain.”
The concert is part of the annual choral series, Locus Iste. It is named for Anton Bruckner’s choral motet “Locus Iste a Deo Factus Est,” which roughly translates to “This place is sacred.” Grant Edwards, the organist and musician-in-residence at First Congregational, started the concert series in 2015 to “remind ourselves that all poetry is prayer, and all music is meditation.”
In the past, the concert series has focused on works of Mary Oliver and the Three B’s (Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, featuring the poetry of Billy Collins).
This year, Edwards is taking on 27 of Dickinson’s poems to create a full-length choral experience. He has been working on crafting an autobiographical song cycle for many years after “being inspired by Dickinson’s vivid imagery and unconventional use of language.” With this world premiere, Edwards said he is finally ready to release his labor of love to the world which is composed for mixed chorus, soloists and orchestra. This, he said, is his magnum opus.
“[Letters From Emily] is a deeply personal work which also reflects the universal plight of all humanity,” Edwards said. “Our lives are our ‘letters to the world,’ a world that promises nothing in return. The sun sets, the sun rises. Love is gained and lost—yet sometimes, hope flies in from where we least expect it.”
Edwards will be conducting the Locus Iste Choir, which features soloist Sheryl Wood, as well as Ian Timmons, Jonny Roberts, Jonathan Green and Genna McAllister. There will also be a 14-member orchestral ensemble with Mary Rowell as concertmaster and Yvette Starkey, collaborative pianist.
“Letters of Emily” is set to premiere at 7:30 p.m., on May 31 and June 1 at First Congregational United Church of Christ – Portland, 1126 SW Park Ave., Portland. There is a $15 suggested donation.

Event Details
A Musical Banquet is a multi-disciplinary performance piece featuring Hideki Yamaya and Emily Lau, as inspired by A Musical Banquet, a collection of twenty lute songs published in 1610 in London. This project combines historical love songs from the collection with new and related work: four tableaus set in different eras of American history, each featuring a character whose mother tongue is a language represented in A Musical Banquet.
Hideki Yamaya is a performer of lutes, early guitars, and early mandolins currently based in New Haven, Connecticut, and a former Portland resident who remains deeply connected to the city in spirit and through his work. He is the Artistic Director for Portland’s Musica Maestrale, an early music collective, and an internationally acclaimed musician who has performed in Canada, Japan, Great Britain, Germany, and Italy.
Composer, singer, and performance artist Emily Lau fuses elements of ancient music with contemporary techniques to tell unique aural and visual stories. She is the Artistic Director for Portland’s Big Mouth Society, and a Grammy-nominated musician who tours nationally with leading early and new music ensembles. Both Musica Maestrale and Big Mouth Society prioritize reviving and sharing rich sources of music of exceptional quality. Yamaya and Lau are among the foremost experts in their respective areas nationally, and A Musical Banquet is their first full-scale collaboration after years of playing music together.
The book, A Musical Banquet, is over 400 years old and remarkable in that it comprises songs of exceptional quality in four languages: English, French, Italian, and Spanish. The songs deal with subject matter that we can relate to today: life, death, love, and loss. But until now, much of this music has been unknown, not only to the general public but to avid concertgoers as well. This project revives the book’s formerly unperformed and unheard early music pieces, and juxtaposes them with contemporary storytelling, four tableaus set in different eras of American history, each featuring a different female character, immigrants whose mother tongue is a language represented in the book. The story of each character is told through the songs and through newly written dialogue and narration by Lau. Our production of A Musical Banquet will be the world premiere of the newly reinvisioned collection in its entirety, and as such offers a rare opportunity to Portland audiences.
This project is funded in part by a Project Grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
Portions of Lau and Yamaya’s performance will be live-broadcast at Thursday @ 3 on All Classical Portland on May 30th.

Big Mouth Society and Musica Maestrale present:
A Musical Banquet: A musical tale told in four languages
Emily Lau, voice
Hideki Yamaya, Renaissance lute
‘A Musical Banquet’ is a multi-disciplinary performance piece featuring vocal music from A Musical Banquet, a collection of twenty lute songs published in 1610 in London. The book is remarkable in that it comprises songs of exceptional quality in four languages: English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
The songs in A Musical Banquet, which is over 400 years old, deal with subject matter that we can relate to today: life, death, love, and loss. This performance will juxtapose the early music pieces with four tableaus set in different eras of American history, each featuring a different female character, an immigrant whose mother tongue is a language represented in A Musical Banquet. The story of each character is told through the songs and through newly written dialogue and narration by Lau.
This project is funded in part by a Project Grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
Please note that the May 31 show is at First Christian Church in downtown Portland, and the June 1 show is at Elliot Chapel in Reed College.
