across the state is critical to doing
my job. In these uncertain times,
it’s more important than ever to
hear directly from folks, but it’s
also important to respect the health
and safety of every member of our
communities while there is still a
very real risk of spreading COVID-
19 through in-person gatherings,”
Merkley said. “The ideas and
priorities I hear about in town halls
inform the solutions that I fight to
get into federal law. I look forward
to these discussions — even if
they’re online, on mobile devices,
or on the telephone — about how
we can strengthen our state and our
nation.”
The town hall will start at 4 p.m.
Attendees can join a Zoom chat
through computer, smartphone or
tablet, the press release said.

time to listen to an audio perfor-
mance of “The Strange Case of Nick
M.” by Drew Pisarra.
An original theater drama, it’s
about a man whose memory spans
about 30 seconds. “Nick M.” offers
a trippy audio journey into his frag-
mentary world. It features a cocky
podcaster who accessed the psycho-
therapist’s tapes, which reveals how
he tinkered with his patient’s mind.
Listeners also will hear from Nick,
his wife, who serves as primary
caretaker, and their resentful daugh-
ter.
Through a grant from the Oregon
Cultural Trust, it was released by
Imago Theatre and KBOO Commu-
nity Radio. Known for their highly
visual performances, the theatre
tackled the project as a way to
reach audiences during the global
pandemic.
The on-demand livestream is
available for $10 through Sunday,
May 16, via www.eventbrite.com.
