To the top


By William Shakespeare
September 23 - October 19, 2008


Reinterpreted in the harsh light of today’s politics, Shakespeare’s tragedy is a timeless investigation of ambition, public opinion, and violence. Soothsayers dispense predictions over cable news, the tidings of war arrive by text message, and cries of revolt rock the Capitol, as shadowy conspiracies expose the intoxicating lure of power.


By Frederick Knott
October 28 – November 23, 2008


Susy Hendrix, recently blinded in an accident, is terrorized in her apartment by three con men looking for a deceptively valuable doll. In this classic suspense thriller of stage and screen, Susy finds herself trapped in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with only a young girl and the gathering darkness as her allies.


by Charles Dickens
December 5 – December 24


Back by popular demand, this non-subscription holiday classic is full of music, spirits, special effects, and all of your favorite characters. Perfect for the whole family.


By Henrik Ibsen
January 27 – February 22, 2009


Portland Stage partners with nationally renowned Figures of Speech Theatre to present a breathtaking journey of folklore and imagination. Peer Gynt, a charmer, rogue, and storyteller, chases adventure from his home in Norway to troll caves, oceans, and the African desert. Actors, puppets, and shadows magically weave together to animate Peer’s search for answers to life’s biggest questions.


By Deborah Zoe Laufer
March 3 – March 22, 2009


Wide-eyed innocence and perfect pedicures collide in this zany new comedy about life, self-image, and the pursuit of a hunky man to call your own. Blissfully happy but ignored by her husband, Dotty timidly ventures into the outside world, where she is swept up in a hilarious whirl of characters and questions about what it means to love and to be a "real" woman.


By Joanna McClelland Glass
March 31 – April 19, 2009


Judge Francis Biddle, the elderly and irascible former Attorney General, has little patience for his fresh-faced young secretary. But through battles over grammar and beliefs, their strained relationship grows into mutual respect, and eventually, true friendship. This witty and poignant account of the inevitable adventure of growing old was inspired by the playwright’s personal experiences as Biddle’s secretary.


By Michael Healey
April 28 – May 24, 2009


Two middle-aged friends live a peaceful life on their small, Canadian farm. When a young actor arrives to research rural life, secrets from their past emerge, plunging them into the joy and pain of memories long since buried. This funny and bittersweet drama examines the nature of friendship and the power of the stories we tell to save ourselves and others.
