JAW Play Reading: Good Person (A One-Woman Bouffon Show) By Brett Robinson
Patrica! (A clown, a monster, and definitively good person) drags you down into her own hole of her own making to ask why we are good. Part seminar and part existential crisis. It’s buffoon, it’s funny, it’s dread. This one person show crafted in drag bars and cabaret spaces invites you to question what makes a person good, and if you happen to be one of those so-called "Good People."
JAW: MREENS
Enjoy the cool, summertime vibes at JAW with a performance by Portland-based multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter and producer MREENS as she shares her unique versions of cover songs, blended with original songs for the JAW weekend crowds.
