LOON
by Wonderheads
Kate and Andrew Phoenix
[maxbutton id=”41″]
Wordless. Whimsical. Imaginative.
Acclaimed physical theatre company and mask imagineers the WONDERHEADS bring you a most peculiar love story that whisks a man to the moon and back. Delighted audiences ages 10-110 describe the magnificent mix of puppetry, mime, soundscape and mask-work as “pure magic” and “like a live cartoon” in this moving silent story. www.wonderheads.com

The Dissenter’s Handbook: A Collection of Riotous Tales by Dario Fo
By Shaking the Tree
Directed by Samantha Van Der Merwe
Starring Matthew Kerrigan
[maxbutton id=”42″]
Subversive. Carnal. Improvisational.
Dario Fo, Italy’s iconoclastic playwright-performer, forges incendiary wit and linguistic experimentation into provocative comedy. The Dissenter’s Handbook is a collection of Italian folklore filtered through Fo’s political jest, daringly staged by Portland theatre’s dynamic duo, Matthew Kerrigan and Samantha Van Der Merwe. www.shaking-the-tree.com/
July 9-12
Drowned Horse Tavern (A Sea Shanty Cabaret)
by Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble
[maxbutton id=”43″]
Salty. Adventurous. Rowdy.
Batten down the hatches and clutch your grog tight – in the Drowned Horse Tavern drunken sailors meet to tell tales of shipwreck and lurking leviathans, to sing songs of adventure and loneliness, to whisper of the unfathomable sea within. PETE will spin vaudeville, live music and visceral performance style into a raucous evening of salty cabaret as part of PETE’s The Journey Play Is The Whole Thing: A Constellation Of Art Events, Objects and Experience. http://petensemble.org/
