| Breakdown
Oklahoma! - (8 Women and 10 Men)
Music by Richard Rodgers
Book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Based on the play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs
Original dances by Agnes de Mille
Part charming love story, part stirring retelling of American history, and many parts beloved songs, stunning dance, and often darkly shaded humor, Oklahoma is the show that made its own history. This first collaboration by what became the legendary team of Rodgers and Hammerstein was a milestone in the development of American musical theater for its fusion of song, story and dance.
Seeking African American Singers and Dancers: 8 Men, 10 Women)
The Real Americans: (Solo 1 Man show: CAST)
Created and Perfomed by Dan Hoyle
Beneath the masterful humor that Hoyle brings to the piece—as he takes on the personas of the many people he encountered—a rich texture of human connections asserts itself. It surfaces in stories of unemployment and in the frenetic form of a Dominican from New York he meets on the road.
A Christmas Story: (2 Men, 2 Women, 6 Boys, 3 Girls)
By Phil Grecian
Based on the motion picture written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown & Bob Clark
Based on the beloved movie, this classic holiday comedy is a funny and sweet tale of growing up in the 1940s, by an American master storyteller, Jean Shepherd. Ralphie pines for an official Red Ryder Model Air Gun for Christmas, and his machinations to try and make sure Santa delivers, while his father obsesses over his “major award” (an abominable lamp), guarantee that nothing about the family Christmas will be filled with heavenly peace.
The Santaland Diaries: (1 Man)
By: David Sedaris
Based on the outlandish, and true, chronicles of David Sedaris’ experience as Crumpet the Elf in Macy’s Santaland display, this hilarious cult classic features comic encounters during the height of the holiday crunch. PCS brings a holiday favorite back to Portland as a special Studio Theater presentation.
The North Plan: World Premiere (4 Men, 2 Women)
By: Jason Wells
After a ruthless cabal seizes power in Washington, Carlton Berg, a bureaucrat for the State Department, runs off with the new regime’s top secret Enemies List. Unfortunately for Carlton, the chase has come to an end in a police station in the Ozark town of Lodus. With a pair of DHS agents on the way, Carlton’s last chance is in the people around him: an unsympathetic police chief, an ambivalent administrative assistant, and fellow prisoner Tanya Shepke, motor-mouthed recidivist and alcohol enthusiast, who appears to have an attention-deficit disorder and thinks Skynyrd should be on the new money. Let the revolution begin.
Shakespeare's Amazing Cymbeline!: World Premiere (5 Men, 1 Woman)
A New Adaptation by Chris Coleman
Based on legends about early Celtic kings, Cymbeline is one of Shakespeare’s most fantastical creations—familiar Shakespearean themes of jealousy and innocence wronged are joined with divine intervention from the gods. A lovely princess, an evil queen, a misguided king and a thoroughly rotten clown inhabit this fairy tale-like story of life, and love, renewed.
Red: (2 Men)
By: John Logan
Set in the 1950s, when Rothko was commissioned to create a series of large pieces of art for the new Four Seasons Restaurant, Red tackles big questions about art—what it takes to create it, and where it belongs in our world. But perhaps more importantly, the play invites us to experience a legendary artist through the lens of the assistant brought on to help him with a project Rothko is not so sure he can accept completing.
Anna Karenina: World Premiere (6 Men, 7 Women)
Adapted from Tolstoy by Kevin McKeon
When Anna’s husband refuses to release her from their marriage to pursue her love for Count Vronsky, the wheels are set in motion for the ultimate sacrifice. Anna Karenina isn't concerned with observing the minutiae of social etiquette, like Jane Austen, nor with righting social injustices, like Dickens. It's about uncontrollable passions, and emotional and sexual betrayal, set against one of the most romantic periods of world history.
Black Pearl Sings! (2 Women)
By Frank Higgins
In 1935 Texas, Susannah, an academic and song collector for the Library of Congress, visits a high-security prison where she meets Pearl, an African-American woman imprisoned for murder who longs to leave prison and find her lost daughter. Hoping to record the treasure trove of spirituals and folk songs that only Pearl knows—and make her reputation on the discoveries—Susannah bargains for Pearl’s parole and arranges for several public performances.
Universal Mind: World Premiere (1 Man, 3 Male Actor/Dancers and 3 Female Actor/Dancers)
Conceived by Randy Johnson
A world premiere “live theatrical event” showcasing two of the most brilliant and controversial artists of the second half of the 20th century. Poet Ginsburg’s work was a source of inspiration to Jim Morrison, storied lead singer of The Doors. This theatrical representation of how the incendiary voice of the Beats in the 1950s influenced the music of the man who invited us to light my fire in the 1960s promises to take us all on a trip in our culture's history.
