Starting in February, the Oregon Psychoanalytic Center and Portland Center Stage put theater on the couch for Formative Stages: Theater and the Life of the Mind, a series of lively post-matinee show discussions on issues, themes and lessons gleaned from PCS plays.
Flexing their considerable insights into the life of the mind, this stellar group of distinguished OPC practitioners (pictured above, l-r: Duane Dale, MD; Saskia Hostetler Lippy, MD; and Scott Murray, MD) lead informal Q&A’s following Feminine Ending (February 10), Sometimes A Great Notion (April 6), and Doubt (May 25).
With wit and acumen our OPC guests will delve into the plays’ humor, whimsy and the primitive drive of the pleasure-loving id, intimacy, trust and the limits of belief, family dynamics and power, taboos, and all the curious nooks and crannies that theater inhabits–revealing that theater is truly a microcosm of life. Get real at PCS–take that, Dr. Phil!
