‘My Fair Lady ’ on Portland Center Stage
Local production features original script and songs
Portland Center Stage knows it
would be loverly for audiences to
see "M y Fair Lady” as a delightful
mid-winter distraction. Based on
G.B. S h aw 's‘‘Pygmalion,” the 1956
Lerner and Loewe version has been
updated for Portlanders, still with
all the original dialogue and songs.
Opening night for performances is
Friday, Feb. 18,continuing through
Saturday, March 12 at Newmark
Theatre, 1111 S.W. Broadway.
In “ My Fair L ady,” Henry
Higgins, a linguist who appears to
be all head and no heart, is deter
mined toci vilize Eliza Doolittle, an
uneducated, unmannered cockney
guttersnipe. While Eliza is indeed
an apt pupil, she turns out to have
a rare inner beauty that charms all
who meet her, including her cur
mudgeonly, know-it-all teacher.
Eliza (Sherry Boone)
grudgingly gives her
father, Alfie Doolittle
(James Brennan) a
coin for a drop o f
“liquid protection " in
the Portland Center
Stage production o f
“My Fair Lady. ’
"My Fair Lady” is full of colorful,
u nforgettable characters, including
scallywag Alfte Doolittle, bumbling
Col. Pickering, dotty Mrs. Higgins,
long-suffering Mrs. Pearce, imperi
ous Mrs. Eynsford-Hill and sweetly
smitten Freddy.
Tickets are $ 15 ages 30 and un

Plays Tackle
Racism in College
PCC 'Illumination
Project' seeks solutions
A series of plays addressing
racial oppression will kick off
this week at Portland Commu
nity College in southwest Port
land.
The “Illumination Project” is
a program o f the S y lvania
W om en's Resource Centei and
Sylvania Multicultural Center,
as well as PCC’s Sociology and
Theater departments.
Because college campuses are
the third most likely place for
hate crimes to occur, students in
the Illumination Project feel it is
important to raise awareness of
racism.
“Racist comments are every
where,” said Japanese student
educator Toyomi Yoshida. “It's
hard to know what to do when
you hear them. I feel like this
program has given me a voice.”
Student educators inform their
peers on how to recognize, con
front, and ultimately bring an
end to racism. The Illumination
Project does this using interac
tive theater performance, which
allows audience members to in
tervene on the scenarios pre
sented to achieve different out
comes.
Through active learning, stu
dent educators hope to empower
their peers in solving the diffi
cult problem of racial inequality.
Performances run through Fri
day, March 4 at the PAC Lobby
on Sylvania Campus, located at
12(X)0S.W.49ü’ Ave. Additional
performances may be arranged
for high schools, churches and
other community groups. For
more information or to schedule
a performance, contact Jeannie
LaFrance at 503-977-8149 or e-
mai 1 j lafranc @ pec edu.
