The Artist Repertory Theater
brings a new tense, compelling play
on family and deafness to its Alder
Street stage.
“Tribes” has been sweeping the
nation after making its debut at
London’s Royal Court Theatre in
2010.
The story explores many uni-
versally valid, important and op-
posing viewpoints on family, be-
longing, otherness, language,
communication, connection, cul-
ture, parenting, identity and re-
sponsibility, said Dámaso
Rodriguez, Artists Rep’s artistic
director who is directing Tribes.
“Ultimately, Tribes is not about a
particular group, but rather how
we all seek to belong to a commu-
nity we can call our own, and in
doing so, how we too often fail to
listen,” Rodriguez said.
Shows continue through March
1. Select performances featuring
ASL interpretation will run Satur-
day, Feb. 21 at 7:30 p.m. and again
Saturday Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. For tick-
ets, call 503-241-1278 or visit
artistrep.org.
Celebrating
Blackness with Art
Students invite
community to
performance
The Jefferson High School Black
Student Union invites the commu-
nity to celebrate blackness through
art and performance.
Students, local artists, and a spe-
cial guest will present dance, po-
etry, monologues, and other perfor-
mances relating to the theme of
blackness and how it interacts with
the lives of the performers during a
special Black History Month show
on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the Jefferson
High School Auditorium, 5210 N.
Kerby Ave.
Refreshments and snacks will be
available in the gallery from 6 p.m. to
7:30 p.m., where art created by black
students and alumni will be shared.
At 7:30 p.m., the show will move into
the auditorium where the lights will
go up on a series of performances
relating to blackness.
The celebration is free and open
to the public.
