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.

workshop reading of _____not_____
a new collaboration by eva suter and nate harpel.

In this world (and probably the next) things
are not always as they seem. No matter
who we think we are, we may/definitely
appear different to the rest of the world.
What is love within one may simply be
affection within another, what is a means of
transportation to someone may be a traffic
obstacle to somebody else. What is good
may be awesome or awful or just odd.
Who can say?
When dropped into the heart of this
confusing world, how do we identify who
we are, what we do, what we like? What
if, like a blindfold pulled from our eyes, we
were forced to self-sort without the aid of
practice? What would happen then?
come, listen, give us your feed back, help us make a kick ass show.
ALSO: note that the reading will take place JANUARY 26th at 8pm, not on the 22nd, like it says on the fertile grounds web page.
$5-10 dollars at the door
...or on line, but that just sends us a bunch of confusing emails with all of the tickets you've purchased for fertile grounds. so pay cash at the door. it's easier.

NON STOP THEATRE
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.

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.
December 3-5, 10-12, 17-19
All shows 8pm
eff Space
333 NE Hancock
$10-$15 sliding scale
(Thursdays pay what you will)
