Theatre Vertigo Presents Rob Handel's A MAZE

There are two kinds of mazes: the kind where you try to get through and out the other side, and the kind where you try to get to the center. A teenage girl recreates her identity after eight years held captive in a suburban basement; a band remakes itself post-rehab and post-hit-song; a self-taught artist gains a cult following for his 15,000- page comic book. Workshopped at JAW at PCS in 2010, Theatre Vertigo is proud to bring A Maze back to Portland for a full production.

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. www.theatrevertigo.org
