7 Deadly Sins Presents: Andrew Dickson’s Kids These Days

McMenamins Mission Theater 1624 NW Glisan St, Portland, OR, United States

7 Deadly Sins is proud to present the launch of its new 7DS: Voices series with the world premier of Andrew Dickson's Kids These Days at Portland’s historic Mission Theater. Kids These Days is part storytelling, part comedic monologue, and part TED Talk about how much and fast the world has changed, how awful and amazing it is to be a parent, and the generational politics of baby boomers, generation X and Y, millennials, and whatever kids younger who were born a few years ago are going to be called. For example, Andrew will perform his ABC book, written for the world kids are going to inherit. ("A is for Apple. They make the bright, colorful devices we pay attention to instead of you.") And he’ll present his list…

7DS Pants On Fire!

White Eagle 836 N Russell St, Portland, OR, United States

7 Deadly Sins: Wedlocked

The Old Church Concert Hall 1422 SW 11th Ave, Portland, OR, United States

As wedding season comes crashing down around us, 7 Deadly Sins presents five new stories that grapple with a question few of us bother to ask: What is a marriage, anyway, and what does it really mean to be married? Featuring stories about how to cope when your marriage accidentally becomes front-paged news, who wins in a fight between love and gravity, the ways in which a breaking marriage can literally erase your past, what to do when being a good spouse means to give of yourself in the most non-metaphorical way possible, an inquiry into the question of whether or not three is always a crowd, and much, much more. Featuring songs by Lenore, the indie folk band whose NPR declared "will help you…

ROUGH DRAFT

N/A

ROUGH DRAFT takes audiences behind the scenes - and possibly onto the stage - of a live storytelling show. We’ll take volunteers from the audience who have a story they'd like to tell, and together with our audience & panel of celebrity coaches we'll shape that story into a work of art. If you've always wanted to try storytelling, ROUGH DRAFT is the place to find supportive, positive, constructive feedback to give you the confidence to take it to the next level. If you're an old pro, ROUGH DRAFT is the place to hone that story you've been trying to get just right for a bigger stage. Mostly, though, ROUGH DRAFT is a great place to come for an evening of great stories. And because…
