Winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize and nominated for 4 Tony Awards following the legendary Broadway production, Marsha Norman’s ‘NIGHT MOTHER, is an iconic work celebrated for its explosive specificity and cathartic force.

In the real-time events that follow, Mama reasons, argues and begs for her daughter’s life as Jessie prepares the household and defends her right to end her own suffering.

This visceral, sonically vivid new performance piece brings the classical piano music of Rachmaninoff to life through cutting edge physical theatre spun around a classic romance with magical elements of puppetry and mask. The power of music to connect, to ignite, and to heal weaves through this original fable by some of Portland’s most inventive and cherished collaborating theatre-artists.

Grounded
May 1 – May 23, 2015
Script by: George Brant
Directed by: Isaac Lamb
Performance by: Rebecca Lingafelter

With a meteoric rise including the National New Play Network’s 2012 Smith Prize and the Edinburgh Festival’s 2013 Fringe First award, George Brant’s Grounded is a solo-play of Odyssean proportions. After discovering she’s pregnant, a maverick F-16 fighter pilot finds herself reassigned to the Air Force’s drone program, piloting a remote-controlled Reaper in Afghanistan from a trailer in the Nevada desert for a 12 hour day of war until returning home each night to her husband and daughter. This thrill ride of a play asks if there is a price to be paid for floating above the atrocities of war. Its shocking conclusion implicates us all.
“a spare, profane yet surprisingly lyrical string of words that invites us into the head of the swaggering pilot, whose work day involves killing from afar and home life includes a husband longing for her to unwind and a daughter who plays with pink ponies.” – New York Times
