Storm Large

Storm Large is an award-winning musician, actor, playwright, and author. This genre-fluid entertainer has been one of the hardest working people in showbiz for more than 30 years. Though she has done a bit of television, Storm prefers straight up, raw dog performing, without screens between herself and the audience. 

So, it goes without saying, Storm is thrilled to be back in this beautiful theatre, and in your face.

Her first one woman show, Crazy Enough, was a runaway hit at PCS, winning awards and breaking records in Portland and beyond, and was even brought back in 2019 for its 10 year anniversary. Her autobiography of the same name, released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, was Oprah’s book of the week and won the Oregon Book Award for creative nonfiction.

This new piece, “Makes It Home” also ventures into Storm’s turbulent family history, and asks the question, “How can you make it home, when the only home you’ve ever known didn't want you?”

Besides writing this show, Storm still tours constantly with Pink Martini, her own band, Le Bonheur, and does multiple appearances a year with symphonies everywhere. It’s a crazy life, and harder than it looks, but Storm is beyond grateful she gets to do it. This wild child survivor has blown away any dream she ever dared to dream.
