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 Gntamobi. 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 cant last.Let A Hundred Flowers Bloom February 14-March 22, 2014

Its 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 wouldve guessed?STATES OF EMERGENCY: May 9- June 14, 2014
