Late Night Comedy: The Love Boys Love Chris Estrada
Portland-based love and relationship experts The Love Boys (Hunter Donaldson, Milan Patel, and Kyle George) reunite to host an amazing evening of stand-up comedy and music, and they'll be answering all of your burning questions about love, sex, and everything in between. Featuring live music by TRON (Old Grape God) and performances by Shain Brenden (NBC, Willamette Week's funniest 5 comedians), Wendy Weiss (Willamette Week's funniest 5 comedians), Sam Whiteley (Stool Humpin' Comedy Show), and headliner Chris Estrada (Comedy Central/HBO/Hulu).
Join us for the first installment of a new late-night event series that will feature unconventional performances from musicians, visual artists, comedians, dance, and open format shows for the 21-and-over crowd. Each show will take place on the stages and other communal spaces in Portland Center Stage's historic venue.
Chris Estrada is lauded as one of the funniest comedians in America right now. He's been featured on HBO, Comedy Central, and is the head writer/star of Hulu's "Punk Ass Bitch." He's also a really nice dude. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Estrada was among Time Out L.A.’s top 10 comics to watch in 2018. A year later, Comedy Central featured him as one of its Up Next Comedians at Clusterfest.

Improvisation Classes for Beginners

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.
