This year's lineup includes site specific theatre, dance, solo shows, aerial performance, puppetry, and dozens upon dozens of brand-new scripts by some of Portland's most celebrated and prolific playwrights.

Schedule of Events:

7:30pm - Hillsboro Artists' Regional Theatre (HART): Out of Love by James Van Eaton

A seemingly innocuous object at a Mexican restaurant unravels deep family secrets, a horribly violent bar brawl is retold by three of the participants, only two of which are human, a bereaved father and his struggling granddaughter search for a light in their shared darkness, and a man arrives at the home of his one-time love with flowers for the last time. These four stories, which comprise James Van Eaton’s latest collection, Out of Love, explore the depths and limits of that most powerful emotion with a poignant blend of loyalty, heartache, sweetness and hard truth.
