A thriller about a font? I was skeptical, myself. But
the font is the foundation for the story. Portland
Center Stage creates an eerie humming future-
world where the printed word (and paper) is
ancient history, and it's all this typeface's fault.
Runs through March 27, $20+

You've seen the movie, you may have even read

straight-forward, yet intriguing productions
seen on the main stage.

The Silence of the Clams
A production I look forward to checking out, -
it's a campy all-male take on the 1991 film o f a
similar name. And are there really ever enough
vagina jokes?
