defunkt theatre’s Season 14: Provocations
“It’s important to know what you’re capable of.”
The Submission October 11-November 16 2013
by Jeff Talbott directed by Andrew Klaus-Vineyard
A young struggling white playwright writes a wonderful play about an African American family escaping poverty. To increase its chances of getting produced he submits the play to a prestigious theater festival under the pseudonym of Shaleeha G’ntamobi. What follows is a searing, no holds barred exploration of racism, homophobia, sexism, affirmative action and hypocrisy in modern America . An electrifying new play from a fresh new voice in American theater, The Submission is a Portland Area premiere.
“When something beautiful is offered you take it. Even though you know it can’t last.”
Let A Hundred Flowers Bloom February 14-March 22, 2014
by David Zellnik directed by Paul Angelo
It’s 1996 and advances in AIDS medications leave a group of men who faced near certain death a sudden, unexpected hope for a future. Puppy is a writer of pornography with a Marxist slant; an accident has left him confined to a wheelchair but his sexual fantasies know no limit. Sexually frank, hilarious, and deeply moving, this award winning play is a West Coast premiere, and playwright David Zellnik will be visiting Portland during the run.
“Things are definitely looking up- brighter light-more frequent boating- more confident smile-things are improving day by day-who ever would’ve guessed?”

Betty’s Summer Vacation by Christopher Durang
directed by Jon Kretzu
Following this season’s hit Herstory/History project, defunkt again collaborates with Jon Kretzu to create two unforgettable evenings of theater by two of modern theater’s most original playwrights, both exploring the 24 hour news cycle of the modern world in which truly everything, even natural and man made disasters is packaged and sold for our consumption. Funny, dark and incendiary, these two plays provide a fitting end to a season of provocative theater you won’t see anywhere other than defunkt.
Summer Sale: Now through July 1st, get season tickets for a special price of $50. That is four evenings of world class theater for one great low price:
