Artists Repertory Theater cel
ebrates its 25th season with “House
and Garden,” two interconnected plays
performed simultaneously by one cast.
“House” is set inside the house of
an English estate, while “Garden" is
set in the back garden on the same day
during the same party, an improbable
twist which means that each play fea
tures the exact same cast performing
both plays simultaneously.
When an actor makes an exit in one
play, he or she runs a flight of stairs
between Artists Repertory's two the
aters, making an entrance in the other
play mere moments later.
Performances continue through Oct.
14. Tickets can be purchased by phone
at 503-241-1278, online at
artistsrep.org or at the box office at
1516 S.W. Alder St.
