Intimate Letters concludes our 9th season with two landmark quartets from the 19th and 20th centuries. Janacek’s “Intimate Letters” is a portrait of passionate, unreciprocated love, seen through the hundreds of letters the composer exchanged with a much younger, married woman. The torment of love is an ever-present theme in Schubert’s music, especially in his lieder, which open the program. We conclude our season with his stunning and expansive Quartet in G Major, Schubert’s last string quartet.

Event Details
Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.
Don’t miss your chance to see this groundbreaking production live! Buy your tickets now and prepare to be moved and inspired by Passing Strange. You won’t be disappointed!

Event Details
Now the subject of an award-winning documentary film, The Innocents is social justice advocacy through performance art. The work is an effort to delve deeply into the current issues surrounding the subject of wrongful imprisonment and exoneration, as well as a commitment to connect with the communities in which it is performed. We have embraced our role as advocates through the realization that our work cuts to the emotional core of the human experience surrounding these issues.
Using a variety of found-object and home-made instruments, electronic soundscapes, and spoken texts, we have devised a one-hour dramatic soundscape comprised of at least seventeen tableaus which explore aspects of the issues surrounding wrongful imprisonment and exoneration in the American criminal justice system: mistaken identity, JOHN LANE and ALLEN OTTE FILM TRAILER is HERE.

HAND2MOUTH THEATRE PRESENTS MEMENTO MORI
Memento Mori, H2M’s newest original devised work, is an exploration of death and dying. A tall order. A lifetime of dying, in fact. As the writer Franz Kafka wrote, “The meaning of life is that it stops.” The lifetime of living and collecting. The search for answers. Faith. Science. Fear. Dust. Nothingness.
“Death is a mystery to me. I tend to lean on science but grew up believing in the ideas that my Catholic mother held dearly. This project is an opportunity to investigate contemporary ideas around death and dying. In a world that has been inundated with death due to the pandemic, senseless acts of violence, and the horrors of famine and war, this piece seeks to ease some of the fear that lies ahead for all of us.” – Michael Cavazos, Director
Who will write my eulogy and how will the collective “they” remember me? Who will cancel my instagram account and what photos will they find on my phone or in the depths of my old myspace account? Will I live on through technology? What have I collected and what do these mementos say about me? Will anyone miss me? Will anyone attend my funeral? My ashes divided among family members, sprinkled on the landscape, compressed into a diamond, a lock of my hair saved, cryogenic dreams, compost for a seedling that becomes a treehouse for my great grandchildren. Maybe I’ll become a firework and my family and friends will shoot me into the air.
Death. The ripples. Dearly beloved, what happens next?

Something stirs on the Other Side and comes knocking…
Commissioned by Corrib Theatre, From a Hole in the Ground is an original work by Portland-based playwright, poet, and actor Ken Yoshikawa, inspired by Irish folklore. Corrib will collaborate with Alberta House to develop the play, which will include mythic figures like ghosts, fairies, and even the Púca, a morally ambiguous trickster creature from Celtic lore.
Someone, some thing, has returned from the grave hell bent on a long due confrontation, upsetting the world of the good folk, and set to bring chaos to mortals too. An exploration of fairytale, time, and connection.

Music by Gioachino Rossini; Libretto by Cesare Sterbini
The wheeling and dealing Figaro plays matchmaker between the savvy Rosina and the lovesick Count Almaviva, while Rosina’s vulturous guardian does everything he can to keep the lovebirds apart. Full of schemes and hijinks, this “zany creation that is incredibly funny and wildly colorful” (City Arts) finishes the season on a high note.
Lindy Hume’s “bright hilarious production” (The Stranger) is an audience favorite with magnificently colorful sets and costumes. Combined with Gioachino Rossini’s familiar and show-stopping tunes, this production is a treat for ears and eyes alike!

The program centers on all women composers, including two pieces by Florence Price, first African-American woman to have a piece performed by a major American orchestra. We also include French composer Cécile Chaminade, who was a victim of extreme prejudice against women composers in the early 1900s. Amy Beach had her Gaelic Symphony premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1896. Julie Giroux is a contemporary artist who has composed everything from video game themes to full symphonies. Ethyl Smyth was not only a composer but also an ardent suffragette in the 1910s and 20s.

The Portland Ballet presents John Clifford’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a family friendly and witty confection of a ballet, danced to Felix Mendelssohn’s gorgeous music. This amusing and elegant adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy showcases a variety of challenging choreography: the fleet-footedness of fairies, the antics of rustics, and the style and grace of nobility. The magic begins with excited buzzing in the enchanted forest and ends with a grand pas de deux to celebrate a royal wedding. Along the way, fairies feud and stir up mischief, a merry buffoon turns into a donkey, and the queen of the fairies falls in love with him.

Event Details
The Portland Ballet presents John Clifford’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a family friendly and witty confection of a ballet, danced to Felix Mendelssohn’s gorgeous music. This amusing and elegant adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy showcases a variety of challenging choreography: the fleet-footedness of fairies, the antics of rustics, and the style and grace of nobility. The magic begins with excited buzzing in the enchanted forest and ends with a grand pas de deux to celebrate a royal wedding. Along the way, fairies feud and stir up mischief, a merry buffoon turns into a donkey, and the queen of the fairies falls in love with him.

Intimate Letters concludes our 9th season with two landmark quartets from the 19th and 20th centuries. Janacek’s “Intimate Letters” is a portrait of passionate, unreciprocated love, seen through the hundreds of letters the composer exchanged with a much younger, married woman. The torment of love is an ever-present theme in Schubert’s music, especially in his lieder, which open the program. We conclude our season with his stunning and expansive Quartet in G Major, Schubert’s last string quartet.

Event Details
Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.

HAND2MOUTH THEATRE PRESENTS MEMENTO MORI
Memento Mori, H2M’s newest original devised work, is an exploration of death and dying. A tall order. A lifetime of dying, in fact. As the writer Franz Kafka wrote, “The meaning of life is that it stops.” The lifetime of living and collecting. The search for answers. Faith. Science. Fear. Dust. Nothingness.
“Death is a mystery to me. I tend to lean on science but grew up believing in the ideas that my Catholic mother held dearly. This project is an opportunity to investigate contemporary ideas around death and dying. In a world that has been inundated with death due to the pandemic, senseless acts of violence, and the horrors of famine and war, this piece seeks to ease some of the fear that lies ahead for all of us.” – Michael Cavazos, Director
Who will write my eulogy and how will the collective “they” remember me? Who will cancel my instagram account and what photos will they find on my phone or in the depths of my old myspace account? Will I live on through technology? What have I collected and what do these mementos say about me? Will anyone miss me? Will anyone attend my funeral? My ashes divided among family members, sprinkled on the landscape, compressed into a diamond, a lock of my hair saved, cryogenic dreams, compost for a seedling that becomes a treehouse for my great grandchildren. Maybe I’ll become a firework and my family and friends will shoot me into the air.
Death. The ripples. Dearly beloved, what happens next?

Event Details
In this multi-media event, we celebrate mothers through a combination of classical and modern music, poetry, and a fascinating look into all the ways that motherhood changes the brains of both mothers and children throughout their lives. The program will be narrated by author, public speaker, and neuroscientist Dr. Larry Sherman, who will talk about how a mother’s brain changes during pregnancy and after birth, the neuroscience of the bonding that occurs in the brains of mothers and children, what happens when mothers sing to their children, and how a mother’s brain changes with their experiences with their children over the course of their lives.
These discussions will be highlighted by music that celebrates motherhood and all of its wonders and challenges. The show will also highlight all of these concepts with readings of the poetry of Ann Taylor, Nikita Gill, Margaret Hasse, and Alice Walker, as well as visual art that celebrates mothers and their children, and illustrations that highlight the amazing changes that happen in mothers’ brains and the brains of their children as they bond and grow together.

Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.

Production Sponsored by:
Charlotte Rubin and Oregon Cultural Trust
Something stirs on the Other Side and comes knocking…
Commissioned by Corrib Theatre, From a Hole in the Ground is an original work by Portland-based playwright, poet, and actor Ken Yoshikawa, inspired by Irish folklore. Corrib will collaborate with Alberta House to develop the play, which will include mythic figures like ghosts, fairies, and even the Púca, a morally ambiguous trickster creature from Celtic lore.
Someone, some thing, has returned from the grave hell bent on a long due confrontation, upsetting the world of the good folk, and set to bring chaos to mortals too. An exploration of fairytale, time, and connection.

Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.

Event Details
Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.
Don’t miss your chance to see this groundbreaking production live! Buy your tickets now and prepare to be moved and inspired by Passing Strange. You won’t be disappointed!
