Broke Gravy
When you see a Broke Gravy performance, expect to see over 100 combined years of dynamic energy. Each player originated from a distinct part of the US (Florida, Minnesota, Michigan), with their individual journey’s around the world eventually landing them upon the streets of Portland, OR. They pride themselves on small details and big ideas—be they from their own upbringings or the unique experiences their audiences bring to each show.
TUNNEL
TUNNEL is a Portland, OR based improv nuisance - w/ Adam Trabka, Kara Moore, Dylan Reiff, Chad Parsons, Jeff Kelsay, and the ghost of Garrett Palm. Having trained all over the country (UCB, iO Chicago, Annoyance,Curious Comedy and Brody Theatre) TUNNEL met serendipitously performing in the dream-boat city of Portland, OR. TUNNEL's exciting and complimentary players create a signature style of fun , malleable and caring long-form.

Nassim
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment, presented in collaboration with Boom Arts. Each night, a new, unrehearsed local performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits, unseen, in a sealed box... Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
Art Exhibit: Garam Garam Chai by Yusra Siddiqui
Portland Center Stage will host Garam Garam Chai, an art exhibit by Portland-based multidisciplinary artist Yusra Siddiqui, featuring a series of hand-sewn teabag printmaking pieces that serve as a contemplation of the communal tea times shared between Desi and British culture.
Coriolanus
Shakespeare’s tragedy about the war hero Coriolanus and the fight between the elite and the deprived masses will be fueled by a dynamic female and non-binary ensemble with a muscular, movement-focused staging.
