by Krista Garver - Jun 28, 2023

BWW Review: BECKETT WOMEN at Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble
by Krista Garver - Jan 16, 2020

OUR RUINED HOUSE A PETE Original Announced At Reed College 
by A.A. Cristi - May 7, 2019

Examining the geopolitical through the lens of the interpersonal, Our Ruined House summons a world in which the audience's perception becomes the principal arbiter of what is 'true'. Featuring a giant octopus, a tiny meatloaf, and the poetry of Donald Rumsfeld, Our Ruined House investigates a world driven more by the appearance of winning than any central truth. By contrasting the slippery, subjective narratives of both romantic and geopolitical relationships, we point at the sacrifices made in order to 'win' in both arenas. What narratives will we create and what secrets will we bury in order to come out on top, in both love and war? What are we willing to ruin on the road to victory?

A choice must be made, one that will disrupt the course of their lives forever. The line between dreams and reality blurs in this multi-media exploration of what it means to wait...to hope...and to remember. In a dangerous, dystopian world, what if love is the most powerful act of resistance?
