Oops! We’re Married! funny tales of weddings and the married state

In conjunction with the month for Valentines, “Story Time for Grownups” presents comic tales about the weddings and married conditions that often ensue. No cover. The evening will feature pieces by James Thurber and E.B. White, Dave Barry, Robert Fulghum, and a script or two from “The Bickersons”—the classic 1940s radio show about a squabbling couple … with a special guest to perform the voice of Blanche Bickerson.

Warm yourself with a mug of beer, a pot of tea, soup, sandwich, or cookies while reliving the childhood experience of being read to before bedtime. David Loftus reads aloud to live audiences, for recordings, and as a principal character in the science-fiction podcast series “Exoplanetary.” He has performed as a voice character and narrator with the Willamette Radio Workshop, Filmusik, and Third Angle New Music Ensemble; and at Powell’s Books, Borders Books, Umpqua Bank, and Multnomah, Hillsboro, Lake Oswego, and Tigard libraries. Also an actor, David has appeared on “Grimm” and in stage productions at Lakewood Theatre, Broadway Rose, Milagro, Classic Greek Theatre, Shakespeare- in-the-Parks, and Northwest Children’s Theatre. In March he’ll perform in the Oregon Children’s Theatre production of “The Journal of Ben Uchida.”
