Jason Rouse presents (Winter) WONDERLAND, December 1st - 10th, 8:00pm at the Siren Theater.

In 1950, the publication Red Channels blacklisted 151 of the most talented performing artists, writers, musicians, producers, directors and thinkers in America. Careers and lives were ruined and lost. Forty-one of those blacklisted were women.

John Millington Synge's 1907 play is about Christy, a young man who shows up in an Irish village and announces that he has killed his father with a blow to the head. For some reason, the men of the town are impressed by this feat and immediately claim friendship with the boy, while all the women in the town eye him as potential husband material, particularly the young barmaid Pegeen Mike.

Artists Rep presents The Playboy of the Western World by J.M Synge, from through June 22, as the final show of the 14/15 season. Damaso Rodriguez, Artists Rep's Artistic Director, will direct this riotous and raucous production that features a stellar 11-person cast including Portland talent Chris Murray, Amy Newman, Allen Nause, Isaac Lamb, Michael Mendelson, Bill Geisslinger and Los Angeles' Jill Van Velzer.
