Buyer & Cellar
A Barbra Streisand shopping extravaganza.
“Seriously funny … both Barbra lovers and haters will be sold.” —The New York Times
An outrageous comedy about the price of fame and the oddest of odd jobs. Alex, a struggling actor in Los Angeles, finds himself working in Barbra Streisand's private shopping mall (yes, Barbra has her own shopping mall). With his riotously sharp wit and shop clerk persona ready, Alex awaits a visit from the ultimate customer, the “Funny Girl” herself. Nick Cearley (Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors) returns to The Armory as Alex.

Upcoming Events
Love in the Time of Piñatas Staged Reading
Hilarious and deliciously biting, this play brings love, piñatas, and donuts to the fight against injustice, hatred, and oppression in all its flavors (but especially the orange-tinged variety). Using poetry, stand-up comedy, and sweaty go-go dance vibes, writer, performer, and comedian Baruch Porras-Hernandez shares stories of his journey as a Queer Latino boy growing up in Toluca, Mexico, and immigrating to California. Grab your party hat and get ready to take a bite of this deep-fried, frosted goodness!
Día de Muertos (Day of Dead) Celebration
Día de Muertos (Day of Dead) is a Mexican celebration of life to remember deceased loved ones. This year, in partnership with Maria Garcia of Revolución Coffee House, we're hosting folkloric art, altars, artist interviews, food to purchase, and more in our lobbies for appointment-based viewings. We'll highlight the culture and history of Mexican communities and celebrate how Día de Muertos brings families, friends, and communities together to honor the past.
Portland Center Stage at The Armory is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
