Lapine put the Grimm fairy tale characters of
Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, Jack and the

woods to speculate about what lies beyond "the
happily ever after."

June 14, playing Thursday through Saturday nights
at 8 p.m., Sundaysat 7 p.m. (May 10,17,24,31 and
June 14) and Sunday matinees a, 2 p.m. (May 17,

zens. For reservations, call 503-635-3901 or order
