Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson

In the Ellyn Bye Studio

Chris Grace is Scarlett Johansson. Or maybe Scarlett Johansson is Chris Grace. Either way, only one of them played a Japanese cyborg in Ghost in the Shell.  In a tour-de-force one-person farce that The Guardian describes as “mind and character bending,” Asian American actor and comedian Chris Grace explores the bounds of an artist’s identity. With the help of an ever-growing pile of wigs, Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson celebrates two of Hollywood’s most beloved Asian actors.

  • Chris Grace: as Scarlett Johansson is recommended for ages 14 and up. Contains strobe-like lighting effects. Learn more by calling 503-445-3700.
  • Run time: 65 minutes, no intermission.

All titles, artists, age recommendations, dates, and run times subject to change.

Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
