Fortitude and Gentleness

A play about a rehearsal of a play between two actors that turns into explosions of angst, politics, literature, motherhood, forgiveness, and love — with snatches of song, a handful of dances, rants about life, and impassioned appeals to both the moon and Jane Austen.

Doors at 6:30pm, show at 7pm. Location: A-WOL. This is a 90 minute show, with no intermission. There are a few instances of explicit language.

Jump Rhythm® is a jazz-rhythm-, funk-rhythm-, and hip-hop-rhythm-driven, scat-sung approach to teaching acting, moving, and singing. Its goal is to help people who love to do any of these art forms turn their bodies and voices into percussively syncopated musical instruments.

We are a Chicago-based theater company visiting Portland for the weekend. We wanted to get in touch with the local arts community to extend the invitation to our play and workshop to you!
