we recieved 97 (!) submissions for 20 erotic shorts. we're currently on our second round of voting, to be finished on christmas. have our selections made by the new year. there's some pretty fantastic stuff that i'm going to attempt to keep top secret for the next two weeks. we'll see how that goes.
we also had auditions for 20 erotic shorts this week and, once again, i am amazed by the amount of talent in portland.
pretty excited about this project.
in other exciting news, tonight is closing night for the lucky woman. if you haven't seen it you should(i mean, what are you doing on the internet on a saturday night, anyways?). it's a good show and i'm really proud of it.
xo,

The Lucky Woman opens this week!
The Lucky Woman
A new play by local playwright Eva Suter
The Working Theatre Collective presents a contemporary retelling of the Oedipus myth from the perspective of Oedipus' mother/wife, Jocasta. Set in the modern underworld, the play explores the fierceness of love, the power of denial, and how these elements play out in our lives and afterlives. The Lucky Woman is a case study on humanities’ awe-inspiring ability to make poor choices.
The Lucky Woman marks The Working Theatre Collective’s second of five world premiers this season in our new converted black box theatre - eff Space, located in The Box Lift Building on NE Hancock and MLK
Featuring: Darci Burch, Tara Coen, Noah Dunham, Devon Granmo, Meredith Ott, and Beth Thompson.

All shows 8pm
eff Space
333 NE Hancock

A Falling Apart Sort of Thing is OPEN!!!!
A Falling Apart Sort of Thing: A Ghost Play
Written by Nate Harpel
Directed by Noah Martin
From the seat of a bar stool we stare into the heart of an infected world…
A brother and a sister live, work, and drink in Portland. They get by. They have partners, they have jobs, they buy Street Roots. They drink Tecate tallboys and/or Manhattans. They get by. That is, until a forgotten secret from their past surfaces, and then, well, then things fall apart.
The Working Theatre Collective presents a descent into tragedy courtesy of local playwright, bar poet, and collective member Nate Harpel.
Sometimes you can’t get over the things you did when you were young.
“Now there will never be a tomorrow.
For us it is an eternal now:
slow and sick and beautiful,
Welcome to your tragedy.”
October 15-17, 22-24, 29-31
All shows 8pm
at eff Space
333 NE Hancock, PDX
Boxlift Lofts, Studio #14
$10-$15 sliding scale

big things are happening!
first off, auditions were awesome!
thanks to everyone who came out-the amount of talent we saw was fantastic.
we easily could cast either show four or five different ways and had equally amazing productions.
second: season kickoff and fundraiser!

dressing up and RSVPS strongly encouraged: theworkingtheatrecollective@gmail.com
Third: We are going non-profit!
holy shit!
we're kind of at the point where it just, i guess, makes sense. we're all into this collective and really want to make this happen and see where it goes for as long as we can.
as far as our philosophy goes and the type of art we make, this won't be changing anything. this will allow us to apply for grants and get donations, and help out with renting spaces, and other things.
it does feel awkwardly grown up.
