Young Americans
March 19 – April 6th 2025
by Lauren Yee
Take a seat for a dual road trip like no other in Lauren Yee’s Young Americans. Newly engaged immigrants Jenny and Joe depart on a cross-country road trip to their new home in Portland, as they learn to connect as a couple. 20 years later, Joe and their adopted daughter, Lucy, set out for a similar adventure to take Lucy to college. As Jenny and Joe traverse the strange territory of their new country, and Lucy pieces together their bittersweet family history, this beautiful comedy explores what home and belonging truly mean—and the lengths we go for the people we love.

Penelope
May 7 – 18 2025
Music and Lyrics by Alex Bechtel
Book by Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean and Eva Steinmetz
Based on writings in The Odyssey by Homer
“A wonderfully ingratiating new musical from songwriter Alex Bechtel and his co-bookwriters Grace McLean and Eva Steinmetz, who’ve set out to center the heroine a little more firmly” – The Washington Post
Raise a glass to Penelope as she tells us her side of The Odyssey through song in this one woman tour-de-force. She finally steps into the spotlight to recount her time cooped up on the island kingdom of Ithaca for twenty years. This witty and thoughtful musical flips the script on the dutiful wife of Odysseus. After 2020, we can say that as a society, her experience is not Greek to us.
