About the Season

Waiting for Godot
Written by Samuel Beckett
Presented by Corrib Theatre
11/29 – 12/15/2024
Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece has been called the most significant play of the 20th century. In this tragicomic romp, two men wait. And wait again.
Corrib’s 2024-2025 season is designed as an exploration of Waiting for Godot and its legacy! Check out Pass Over by Antoinette Nwandu and Godot is a Woman to discover how this seminal work shaped contemporary Western drama.
A Christmas Carol
Presented by Julia Bray & Thom Bray
12/21/24 @ 2 PM & 7:30 PM
Join us for a re-imagined audience interactive presentation of Dickens’ famous reading of his beloved story. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is one of the most beloved holiday stories in the English language. Here is the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and his Christmas Eve conversion from “covetous old sinner” to “as good a friend as the City of London would ever know”!
In the mid 1860s, Charles Dickens took to the stage to give dramatic readings of this story to sold out crowds. Working from the text of the author’s original reading copy, veteran actor Thom Bray faithfully recreates the theatrical experience that Dickens’ Victorian audiences had!
A Case for the Existence of God
Written by Samuel D. Hunter
Presented by Third Rail
2/28 – 3/16, 2025, Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm,
Sundays at 2:00 pm
Keith and Ryan, two working dads who seemingly have little in common, meet in Keith’s cubicle to discuss business. Despite different upbringings, identities, and lifestyles — and the primarily transactional nature of their relationship — the men connect over their experiences of fatherhood; growing up in a small, rural town; and the loneliness of lost opportunities and fragile circumstances. Tender and surprising, Samuel Hunter’s A Case for the Existence of God shines a light on the ways in which disparate lives can commingle and create a deep and indelible imprint of empathy and connection.
Precipice: Remembering, Forgetting, and Claiming Home
Written by Chris Gonzalez
Presented by Third Rail
5/16 – 7/1, 2025, Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm,
Sundays at 2:00 pm
Precipice is a magical-realist, fluid poem that tenderly holds place, house/home and mementos as doorways to connection, while deeply questioning materialistic notions of ownership. This one-woman show presses against the boundaries of media reports, geological truths, legacy, DNA reports, and the value of listening to the land as a third-generation Black Portlander and Oregonian. Who owns your idea of belonging? What is the legacy of the place you call home? As far as you can tell, is everyone free?
