Photography Exhibit: Like the Brightest Star by Tom Lupton
This event's date or start time has passed.
View Upcoming EventsTom Lupton's Like the Brightest Star is a photography exhibit for "the misfits and the losers and the rock and rollers." Based on the final song from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, the exhibit celebrates the struggle, victory, and transcendence of duality. The exhibit features all Portland-based models, including Darcelle, the Guinness Book of World Record’s “oldest working drag queen.”
Tom Lupton is a Filipino/American photographic artist who has called Portland home for about half his life. Tom is known more widely for his fashion editorial work, which has been featured in numerous fashion magazines, and garnered him a nomination for fashion photographer of the year. His love for theatrical, emotion-filled subjects also finds its way into everything he does — music videos, fashion editorials and shows, portraits, and album covers.
Current & Upcoming
Piano Bar with Courtney Freed and David Saffert
Join us for this monthly event with local songstress Courtney Freed and Portland-based pianist David Saffert as they host a good old-fashioned PIANO BAR.
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.
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.
First Annual 503 Day
Portland's first annual 503 Day. Discounts on tickets, drink specials, and more!

As part of BIPOC Affinity Night for Nassim, join us for a pre-show music performance featuring Chera Chera, blending Iranian music and Farsi lyrics for the matinee crowds.
