The Factory Theatre's HOWIE THE ROOKIE Starts Tonight

The Howie begins the story. The Rookie concludes it.

Mark O'Rowe's HOWIE THE ROOKIE is an epic tale. A wild, urban odyssey through a nightmarish landscape, hilarious, grotesque and, finally, deeply moving and touching.

A kaleidoscopic array of characters including Ladyboy, a psychotic thug on a quest to avenge the deaths of his Siamese fighting fish. Malodorous adrenaline-junkies Flann Dingle and Ginger Boy, Avalanche, a ski-panted monster looking for love, the tragic Mouse, the scabies-afflicted Peaches. And the Howie. And the Rookie.

Through the course of two nights our guides through this saga will forever be changed. "Mr. O'Rowe...is fierce with talent... one of those rare, shiver-making instances in which language seems to become truly physical"

Now The Factory Theatre, back from hiatus, is proud to present this one of-a-kind gut punch to the heart type of show directed and designed by Matthew Jared Lee in Portland tonight, February 19, through February 28, March 3-6 at The Shout House, 210 SE Madison Ste. II.

Featuring Nevan Richard as the Howie Lee and the Rookie Lee, the show runs 80 minutes with one 10-minute intermission.
