HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY AND NEVER BE FOUND TRAILER from Portland Center Stage on VimeoJanuary 27-March 22
In the Ellyn Bye Studio“You are who you can prove you are. You are what people think and that’s the easiest thing in the world to change.” - Mike
If you had to disappear from your life, who would you call first? In this thrilling new play, a young advertising executive reaches the breaking point and decides to drop out as quickly as possible. So he digs up a shoestring relation in a seedy corner of the country who can give him a quick and detailed lesson in the art of escape. The mission? To dispose of everything that defined his former self. It’s an adrenaline-charged, apocalyptic journey to the edge of existence. Like a live and intense Blade Runner meets Memento, How To Disappear will have you questioning everything that makes us who we are in the 21st Century.
Running time: 2 hours and 10 minutes with one intermission.

Reviews and Comments“Sit in the front row, if you can. This one’s best up close.”
- Ben Waterhouse, The Willamette Week (read the complete review)
“provocatively described and expertly produced…How to Disappear [is] an appropriate parable for an over-entitled and under-satisfied culture.”
- Alison Hallett, The Portland Mercury (read the complete review)
“Riordan’s assured directorial vision brings it all together with a tone that artfully straddles the surreal and the mundane, and a pace that mimics Charlie’s manic energy without ever veering out of control. In short, it’s a production that’s much too memorable to just disappear”
- Marty Hughley, The Oregonian (read the complete review)
