In Mia Chung's YOU FOR ME FOR YOU, now in production at Portland Playhouse, trees have ears (literally), rice is a musical instrument, and bears can talk.

Portland has one of the highest rates of sex trafficking in the U.
You're in for a wild ride! [OR THE WHALE] is the center of what Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble calls The Journey Play's the Whole Thing, a 'constellation of art objects, events, and experiences' around this play, which is based on Moby Dick.
Artists Rep's THE MIRACLE WORKER is not your normal holiday fare, but it will leave you with a profound feeling of the power of language and of the resilience of the human spirit.
The Second City's TWIST YOUR DICKENS is a hilarious spoof on all things Christmas, now in its final year at Portland Center Stage.
Portland favorite Darius Pierce brings Crumpet the Elf to life in THE SANTALAND DIARIES, a funny, touching adaptation of an essay by David Sedaris.
What could be better than a THE BOOK OF MORMON parody featuring Ethel Merman? If you said 'nothing,' you're right! triangle productions! THE BOOK OF MERMAN is pure joy.
Get out your Christmas sweater, fill your glass with mulled wine, and let Broadway Rose's A TAFFETA CHRISTMAS get you into the spirit of the season.

Live On Stage's FALSETTOS is a mixed bag, but the costumes are fabulous!
In THE UNDERSTUDY, Artists Rep takes on the intensely personal, and totally relative meaning of meaning.
LOOPED is funny and sad (and often shocking -- Tallulah had a mouth that would make a sailor blush), and Boule's performance brings out these elements in this well-balanced, well-worth-seeing Triangle production.
I am running out of superlatives to describe the productions at Post5 Theatre.
Broadway Rose's OKLAHOMA! demonstrates why this classic musical remains a crowd favorite.
