Alberta St. Multimedia artist Richard Schemmerer has traipsed around the neighborhood, digital cam era in hand, and recorded the ongoing transfor mation o f this part of Portland. W hile he was at it, he picked up interesting found objects and used some of them as mounting surfaces for his photos. T he result is a community portrait docu menting the transitional period. Schemmerer invests his work with a strong social conscious ness and clearly cares about this neighborhood. “Alberta still has the naive humanity of an exploring child, with the dangers of misguided decisions around every comer.” He urges people to see it now, “before this solid raw jewel is cut into traasparent pieces.” A new c ro w n e d head Portland’s own Misha Rockafeller competed earlier this month in a regional pageant and sashayed off with the title Miss Gay N orth west America.

Peggy Shaw, legendary founder of the lesbian theater compa ny Split Britches, gives a hilarious performance as a butch lesbian grandmother going through the Big Change. Although the show confronts aging, it’s not about decline but rather about gaining strength as a woman. Shaw also toys with gender perceptions, because she is often mistaken for a man. The show will be presented two nights only, Oct. 6 and 7, with the opening night and reception for the star benefiting the Lesbian Community Project. Tickets are avail able from It’s My Pleasure, In Other Words or Fastixx. Call (503) 203-3305 for details.
