"Ready to get meta? As February comes near a close, Third Rail Repertory is staging Sam Holcroft's meta-theatrical , where dual identities blur the line between reality and illusion and audience members may or may not be wedding guests. Meanwhile, at Ethos Music Center, a Zeitgeist Fashion Show presented by Foxhole Projects and Fina's Creations provides the framework for Portland stories; and Milagro is staging the farce Los Empeños de una Casa by the 17 th century nun/playwright Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz."
""Into the Woods" with Funhouse Lounge A rich thicket of meaning, Stephen Sondheim's Tony-winning 1986 musical, with a book by James Lapine, can be enjoyed on multiple levels. While it's a darkly humorous fairy tale mashup, the show is also a metaphor for loss. With characters in the potent second act disappearing at a disturbing rate, many people also see the work specifically as a version of the AIDS epidemic."
Multiple Portland venues present a varied lineup of theater through late winter and early spring. Third Rail Repertory stages Sam Holcroft's meta-theatrical that blurs reality and illusion and may implicate audience members as wedding guests. Ethos Music Center hosts a Zeitgeist Fashion Show by Foxhole Projects and Fina's Creations that frames Portland stories. Milagro offers Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz's 17th-century farce Los Empeños de una Casa. Lakewood Theatre opens The Glass Menagerie starring Luisa Sermol. Musicals include Maze: A Labyrinth Parody, a new indie-rock show at Portland Center Stage, PSU's Spring Awakening, and Funhouse Lounge's immersive Into the Woods.
