Unintended Consequences

Clinton Street Theater 2522 SE Clinton St, Portland, OR, United States

Even the best of intentions often lead to unintended consequences. Sure, it seemed like a good idea at the time. You had plans. Or maybe, you didn’t. You never know where you’ll end up, when those plans get knocked off course. Little did you know that sometimes not getting what you want leads to what you need. Or maybe not. Storytellers Ken Iverson, Juliana Person and Steve Henegar find themselves out on a limb, once again, in search of new perspectives and specializing, as we all do, in unintended consequences. Saturday, Sept. 7 in the Clinton Street Theater at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. Tickets at the door: $15; Buy on-line and save: General Public: $12 / Guild Members and their Guests: $10…
