Thank you to everyone who joined us Tuesday for this month's table read! We were delighted to borrow the Portland Playhouse main stage for the night, complete with "The Spongebob Musical" set as our backdrop.

A special thank you to our playwright, Tom Smith, and readers Karyn O'Bryant, Connie Kirk, Barbara Passolt, and Katie Bennett for a wonderful evening.

It's the last day of the Festival Within the Festival as part of the Fertile Ground Festival! We want to thank everyone who's come out to see our shows and encourage you all to catch one of our five remaining new plays, including "Unlooping Penelope" by Silver Fagan.

Penelope, of The Odyssey, has somehow altered the fabric of time with her endless weaving and unweaving. Her all-too-familiar rhythms and repetitions are interrupted by the unlikely arrival of two modern q***r travelers into her mythic realm. With a multivocal language of poetic strangeness meeting and mixing with playful humor, this staged reading examines the ways women and q***r people respond to the threats of patriarchy, the complex legacies of family and friendship, and how we get stuck—and unstuck—in tangles of trauma and time.

See "Unlooping Penelope" today, Sunday, April 19 @ 5 pm at Chapel Theatre in Milwaukie.
