Next weekend, Portland Story Theater begins a new solo performance series: Singlehandedly. There are several successful storytelling events in Portland now (Ignite Portland, Backfence, Mortified, Interesting Portland, etc). We have a great community of story tellers in the NW, and Portland Story Theater's Singlehandedly will be a great addition to this movement–read the story descriptions below.
Also, we have a 3 pairs of tickets to give out as well. Just comment below and we will draw the names from the comments on Friday. If you follow us at our Portland twitter, add your twitter name for two entries. We will email the winners.
We give out free tickets every Thursday on our Portland Facebook Group. So, join it if you like free stuff. We give out festival tickets, concert tickets, and more. Last week, we had tickets for Wonder Ballroom, NW Film Center, Slabtown, Dante's, Roseland, etc…

I love your website and getting updates via Twitter (user name is kmbrly101). Definately plan on hitting some performances this spring/summer. Thanks for all the great info!
These look fascinating! Story can be a very powerful tool for personal & social change. Come see my first performance at performanceworks nw 5/30-5/31! Z
I would LOVE free tickets:)

Commenting.
I am super psyched to see the shows in PST’s Singlehandedly! The solo show has inspired me ever since I saw PICA’s TBA ’04: Sekou Sundiata’s Blessing the Boats and Sara Rudinoff’s Go There. It’s like reading a good memoir but more intimate. Portland Story Theater has always put on great shows. They are the perfect theater company to host this cool festival.
Penny Walter: With My Own Two Hands. She spends most of her days performing for kids. When I see her do shows for adults it is like she takes this filter off and her true self comes pouring out, and look out she is awesome and hilarious.
Rick Huddle: Spent. Don’t take it from me, an econ professor at L&C said, Spent is the SuperSizeMe of the current economic crisis.
Brad Foriter: Glory Hole-lluajah. A solo show title never sucked me in so fast. Can’t wait to see this.
Lawrence Howard: Huckelberry Howard. Lawrence is a true craftsman. He takes interesting to a whole new level.
Will Hornyak: White Stag. This is what I love about theater. Personal, universal.
This is going to be a great fest! See you there!
I am so excited about Portland Story Theater’s new show “Singlehandedly” What more could you want? Two fantastic shows for the price of one and six different shows over 2 weeks, all for a reasonable cost. I’ve been dying to see Sharon Knorr’s “Why can’t I marry the cute Beatle”, and Lawrence Howard never dissapoints with his hysterical and historical stories(!). All the performers are marvelous storytellers. “Singlehandedly” promises to be a great event for Portland theater and storytelling.
Awesome!
Thanks to Portland Story Theater, it looks like Portland audiences are in for a real treat this spring with the upcoming Singlehandedly Solo Performance Festival. Sounds like it’s going to be six evenings of delightfully creative and entertaining tales delivered by these uniquely talented and engaging story-telling performance artists.
yes please!
Holla! =)
Sweet!!
Ooh, me me!
