Maybe adventure stories are more to your liking. This year's Armchair Adventure, POLAR OPPOSITES, created and told by Lawrence Howard, was met with rave reviews after his telling in January at our new venue, The Old Church Concert Hall. Here is the review by Bob Hicks of Oregon ArtsWatch. Krista Garver of Broadway World was so taken with the show that she booked passage on a trip to Antarctica! Here is Garver's review. The next telling of POLAR OPPOSITES will take place at The Norse Hall, a beautiful venue located at 111 NE 11th Avenue.
