Dear Friend of PST,  

We want to thank everyone who came to our 10th annual Valentine's show, held for the first time over at our new home, the Alberta Abbey. We had a very special evening, complete with our videographer, Aaron Hartling, proposing to his girlfriend, Paige Byrom, onstage! It was incredible. Everyone had a blast!  

This March, we're going to do it again with all new stories, starting with our wildly popular Urban Tellers® and then it's our first-ever St. Paddy's celebration, Kiss Me, I'm Irish! Come and get your Irish on!

Exciting times at Portland Story Theater and you're helping to make it happen! We want to keep the momentum going. Come to the show. Bring your friends. We can't wait to see you! 
 
 

Urban Tellers®
 
Saturday, March 7
Urban Tellers SAT March 7
 
Buy Buy Buy !!!The Other. There is no self without the other, but that persistent feeling of being the outsider -- of not quite connecting -- can launch us on a quest for ourselves. The real, true stories that this group of Urban Tellers has crafted are about everything from blond-haired, blue-eyed Venezuelans to finding what fills that hole in your heart. These stories explore loss, the search for identity, the pursuit of acceptance, seeking true love, and finding a reason to live, each working their way to a place of connection that eases the plight of being The Other. 
 
Tickets are $15 in Advance | Doors 7:00 | Show 8:00 
Urban Tellers®. Saturday, March 7, 2015 at Alberta Abbey  Featuring Edward HersheyEva Rotter-JohnsonJulie SalmonMaggie BakWarren McPhersonand Willie Welch.
