Message from the Artistic Director
Can’t pick a
As the world around us seems to become more and more serious, we decided the big theme for next season would be A SEASON OF FUN. Here are some FUN facts about this FUNNY, FUN-FILLED SEASON OF FUN!
favorite?
Ella Enchanted was co-commissioned by First Stage Children’s Theatre (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) and Adventure Stage (Glenn Echo, Maryland). The author, Gail Carson Levine, had strong approvals in place during the playwriting process to make sure the script accurately reflected the book. The result is a delightful musical retelling of this Newbery Honors Classic. Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed: The Rock Experience will warm the heart of anyone who has felt the undeniable urge to express themselves regardless of the consequences. When Wilbur tries on a hat for the very first time, the joy is overwhelming. Despite his colony’s strict rules about never wearing clothes, he is true to himself and changes his community. And this musical is so fun and funny! When I saw Seattle Children’s Theatre’s production, the crowd of young people went crazy over Wilbur’s rockin’ musical journey!

The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors made me laugh out loud as I read it at Powell’s Books. Several children were looking at me with curious amusement as I thumbed through it in the Rose Room. The title alone excited me. This is a story for the stage! Get ready for a Laughapalooza!
You support the arts. You want to help support the arts community as a whole.
Jason and the Argonauts is a first for OCT, an international collaboration! Visible Fictions of Glasgow, Scotland initially created this fast-paced retelling of a classic tale of adventure. Douglas Irvine, the Artistic Director of Visible Fictions, will co-direct with OCT’s Associate Artistic Director, Marcella Crowson. Spoiler alert: some characters are portrayed by action figures! Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly was commissioned by OCT for the 2010–2011 season. Since then, it has been produced nationally 25 times, including two major tours! I love this musical. The lives of these bugs reflect the stages that many young people in our audience are going through. Your child will love and identify with these delightful critters! I can’t wait to get started, and we hope you will join us!

These scales were used to weigh gold, a precious metal found in Oregon. In the 1800s many people, including Chinese immigrants, came to Oregon in search of gold. The gold was placed on one side of the scale, while the weights were placed on the other. The weight of the gold was measured when the scales were balanced. Artifact and Image Courtesy of the Southern Oregon Historical Society. 18
This artifact and fun activities are in History Hub, the first exhibit designed for kids at the Oregon Historical Society.
