Peter/Wendy
We all think we know the classic children’s story of Peter Pan: the boy who never grows up, Captain Hook, Tinkerbell, Lost Boys, and a hungry crocodile. Well, that is NOT this show! Jeremy Bloom’s adaptation of the classic J.M. Barrie tale digs deep into the darker side of Neverland, breaking the story down into its most essential and imaginative parts, and creating a much more adult exploration of the psychology and meaning underlying one of the most famous “children’s”…

Much Ado About Nothing
Coming to Hillsboro from Glasgow’s Bard in the Botanics, Gordon Barr’s take on one of the Bard’s most well-loved comedies turns central lovers Benedick and Beatrice into contemporary partners Benedick and Bertram, and streamlines the action in Messina; we take the concept one step further, exploring love and its many facets with a fluid approach to gender. While everyone plots to make Bertram and Benedick fall for each other, Don John, the misanthropic illegitimate sibling of the prince, contrives a…

A Clockwork Orange
Taking a nod from the critically-acclaimed 2017 off-Broadway production, this updated adaptation by Anthony Burgess of his own novel lures audiences into a glass-edged, testosterone filled underworld of a dystopian future, featuring an all-male cast. The explosive story of little Alex and his band of Droogs was a ground-breaking classic teeming with sexuality and "a bit of the old ultra-violence”; the story feels as hauntingly relevant today as when the book was published in 1962, and when Stanley Kubrick’s Oscar-nominated film…

The Measure of Innocence
“Some rise by sin, some by virtue fall.” Drawing on Shakespeare’s inherent genius for seamlessly blending the comic and the tragic, Portland-based playwright Anya Pearson (Made to Dance in Burning Buildings) adds her own unique command of language, humor, and social insight to this story, reimagining Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure through the all-too-relevant lens of the systemically unjust criminal justice system and the contemporary Black Lives Matter movement. Set in our current fractured political landscape, The Measure of Innocence is…
