ARMCHAIR ADVENTUERE SERIES: NANSEN OF THE NORTH

March 13, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

$5 – $20
View Venue Website, 8800 SW Oleson Rd, Portland, OR 97223

Nansen of the North is the story of Fridtjof Nansen (1861-1930), a Norwegian explorer, scientist, diplomat, and humanitarian.

Nansen’s story caught the imagination of Portland Story Theater co-founder and creator of the Armchair Adventurer series, Lawrence Howard. For the first time, Lawrence is telling an epic tale of the Arctic. A captivating performer, Howard holds audiences spellbound and has been called “the Homer of Portland” and “the master of nonfiction on the stage.” Nansen of the North is the seventh installment of his highly successful Armchair Adventurer series.
