Downward Facing

This staged reading is part of Third Eye Theatre's 2nd Annual Portland Pride Play Festival. Attendance is pay-what-you-will.

Alternating between two women — Jenna and Janna — in a complicated relationship, and the home where yoga teacher Lily-Anne is trying to build her fledgling studio in the place where Flex has squatted for years, Downward Facing shows the families people build when they are required to start out with nothing. A poignant montage of what it looks like when there is no home to run back to, Downward Facing by Mishelle Apalategui is directed by Shareen Jacobs.
