Peaking
A new play by Kamarie Chapman
The Working Theatre collective presents its fourth of six world premier events this season, Peaking, by Bellingham, WA playwright Kamarie Chapman. Three forgotten goddesses are exiled to the New Mexico desert for discovering the subtle art of masturbation. (And you thought you could just go blind!) Forced to deal with the trials of becoming human, these three goddesses (and two helpful, if bumbling, muses) banter, bitch, and break down, and (of course, of course) discover a little bit about themselves in the process.
Set against the backdrop of the Southwest, Peaking explores the people's natural ability to deal with a fall from on high, (literally, in this case), the power of choice making, and how a little bit of self-actualization can cause a lot of trouble along the way.
Peaking marks the next production in The Working Theatre Collective's continuing season of world premier productions in our new converted black box theatre - eff Space, located in The Box Lift Building on NE Hancock and MLK
Peaking is directed by Nate Harpel, and features performances by Kaitlyn Acock, Tricia Askew, Colleen Hartnett, Samantha Luhn, and Sarah McGregor.

20 erotic shorts!
The Working Theatre Collective
Presents
20 Erotic Shorts
Directed by Ashley Hollingshead
Dirty? Thoughtful? Sexy? Funny? Sexy?
There’s only one way to find out…
Culled from almost one hundred submissions from Portland and beyond, The Working Theatre Collective presents our Valentine to the City of Roses: 20 short, sassy, sexy, and sweet plays. For one weekend and one weekend only, Portland can take delight in a world premiere evening of sexy donuts, noisy neighbors, extremely attractive women, sexy mannequins, not-so-missed connections, the invention of the vibrator, and, so, so much more. Culminating with these five words: Star Trek fan fiction musical. Featuring Kirk and Spock (I mean, who else would it be about? Picard and Crusher?).
Featuring performances by Jason Sample-March, Emily Gleason, Noelle Eaton, and Cooper Bombidil.
