Theatre Vertigo Presents ASSISTANCE by Leslye Headland
For these young assistants, life is an endless series of humiliations at the hands of their hellacious boss, a powerful uber magnate. In rare moments of calm when the phone calls stop rolling, Nick and Nora and their traumatized coworkers question whether all their work will lead to success-or just more work. Leslye Headland's ASSISTANCE is a biting, high octane satire about our attraction to power and what we're willing to sacrifice to stay in its orbit. "...the theatrical equivalent of a triple shot espresso." The Los Angeles Times
CAST INCLUDES: R. David Wyllie, Kaia Maarja Hillier, Tom Mounsey, Jenn Hunter, ClaraLiis Hillier & Heath Hyun Houghton
ABOUT THEATRE VERTIGO Since its beginnings in 1997, Theatre Vertigo has successfully functioned as a group of artists with a shared passion for producing high quality, ensemble driven theatre in a collaborative environment. The organization operates under a unique model sans the more traditional leadership of an artistic or managing director. In 2015, keeping this foundation in mind, Vertigo's mission statement was updated to include a commitment to the production of new or rarely seen works. With this new mission in place, Theatre Vertigo aims to become a destination for playwrights to develop their work in a collaborative setting, both locally in Portland and abroad.
