No one can say it better than our audiences! Here are just some of the comments about The Lost Boy we have overheard  in our Morrison lobby:

“So unique! It made me think without beating me over the head.”
“Loved it – especially the circus parts.”
“What a treat.”
“The play is warping our mind – who can we trust?! Just kidding! We loved it!”
“I’ve never seen anything like it!”

Have you seen the circus-inspired artwork adorning the walls of our Morrison Lobby? Whether you are seeing the show or not, come check out the thoroughly beautiful work, curated by the The Geezer Gallery.  We hear lots of "I want that one!" A big drum roll for these artists showing their work: Devin Bernard, Arnold Prato, Farooq Hassan, Lori Latham, Katherine Lesch.

In an excellent, thoughtful review of the show, Dennis Sparks says, "Mr. Nause, the Director, is always a pleasure to watch, as he creates the little, quiet moments, in contrast with the rough ‘n tumble of the more gregarious conflicts — an actor’s director." He continues, "... all the traits of these characters can easily be translated into our modern world. A world, perhaps, not of color, but all shades of gray." Read the full review, with several cast call-outs, here.

Bubbling spies and noir lovers are on our horizon…
Red Herring starts Feb. 12

If you pay attention, will the clues lead you in the right direction? Replete with farcical spy antics and ill-fitting shoes, something smells fishy in this comedic noir fable. A pulpy delight awaits with Commie spies afoot, the H-bomb looming and McCarthy’s detective daughter hot on the trail of a fog-filled murder case.  As the knots of three convoluted relationships tie and fray, the plot-crossed lovers in this 1950s espionage tale bumble, subvert and strategize their way to finding each other… eventually unraveling their trysts into a riotous, inescapable tangle.

Red Herring, by Michael Hollinger, runs February 12 through March 17 on the Alder Stage. Oregon Shakespeare Festival pros Christopher Liam Moore and scenic designer Richard Hay are making their Artists Rep debut with an all-star Portland cast.

 “At the core of the story, it’s a goofy noir, a spoof,” said Moore at the production’s first rehearsal. “But it is also very much about three couples with secrets trying to find the way to love each other on a thorny complicated path.”

Red Herring is presented with support from United Airlines and Marcy & Richard Schwartz.
