In a culture of fear and exhibitionism, who preys upon whom?
A 4-year-old boy is snatched and ransomed by down-on-their-luck roustabouts. His father, the police and P.T. Barnum attempt to outsmart the captors using newspaper headlines, trains and death-defying trickery, while a mother mourns what she has lost. Meanwhile, Tom Thumb, the Strong Man, a trapeze artist and a Circassian psychic create their own acts at the boy’s expense. Loosely based on true story, this media frenzy and entertainment spectacle of 1874 is a tightrope mystery where a boy’s life hangs in the balance amid the self-serving interests of white collars and circus-folk vying for the upper hand.

My husband is an actor, so we cannot afford to buy tickets to plays.

Cheers!
I’d love to see this! It sounds great.
This looks so great! I’d love to win tickets…
this story is so similar to my own life i must see it to prepare litigation.
I haven’t been to the theater in ages. I’ve also always wanted to join the circus. I would love to attend!
Would love to see this! I don’t get to the theater enough, and Artists Rep Theater does a great job!
This is super exciting! Please pick me :)
I’ve not yet had an opportunity to see an ART show and this one sounds so incredible!

Many thanks for this chance!
Please bestow these tickets upon me!
I love historical thrillers …and with a circus! Can’t wait to go (please)!
Mr. Ross. If you love money more than your child, then you be his murderer, not us. For the money we will have… Oh, here comes the trapeze lady! Cool.
I haven’t been to the theater in forever. Please pick me!
Barnum and Babes gone missing, oh my!!!!…Would love to see this domestic drama and circus spectacle….Thank you for the opportunity!!
I know that boy! But I must know for certain.
Will you let me?
Awesome! Thank you!
This looks like an amazing show and I would be so happy to see the production!
Would love to take my sweetie to the theater to reciprocate for all the plays he has taken me to.
Would LOVE to go see this play because I’m pregnant so now there’s not much I can do in Portland! Please pick me!
love a good mystery! send me to this show! rad.
This plot reminds me of a similar experience I had after a pub crawl in Tacoma, except in my case, the perps were a bearded lady and nattily dressed conjoined twins. My therapist feels I might make a break-through if I see “The Lost Boy.”
What an awesome story brought to the stage…even better this would be my first theater showing in Portland! Please and thank you…
1874. bring me home, pipeline…
In February, we will have lived in PDX for two years – and haven’t been able to enjoy local theater yet. Would love to win these tickets and get started on the Portland Theater scene. Pick us – we are wonderful audience members!
Sounds amazing!
Growing up, my mother always threatened to return me to the circus when I misbehaved. I’ve been a very bad girl this year. Perhaps it’s time to return me to my people. Tickets to the homeland, please!
I think P.T. Barnum is the bees knees :)
Are you kidding me, who wouldn’t want to see this? I am obsessed with circus/carnival/side-show history/life.
I have my flippers crossed that I will win a couple ‘O tickets!
This is my kinda show..pick me :0
Pick me for free ticket giveaway. The only Lost Boys I’ve ever known have been related to Duran Duran. It’s time to update my mental association. Help?!
I would like to go because the show sounds fascinating.
I love seeing live theater and have read about this show coming up. Though my wife and I cant always afford to see the shows, it would be awesome to go see this captivating tale.
I’ve never been to Artist Rep and would sincerely LOVE to see this show. Me me me me me!
New Year’s Resolution – see more theatre performances!
Has been TOO long since I’ve been to Artists Rep Theater, would love to see this play!

I think this would be exciting and thrilling, and something that appeals to my darker side. Please include me in the drawing. Thanks!
I have not seen any theatre in years and well, its about time I did.
I can walk to theater from my house for a fun date night.
Love seeing new original theater at one of the best stages in Oregon.
Ladles and Jellyspoons-
Hobos, tramps and bow-legged ants
Looks out fer them carnies
This one sounds like a great one to see before I leave Portland.
This sounds amazing & I would love to see it.
This sounds epic. Plus my best friend is only 20, so all ages makes it even better over most events.
I NEED to see this, it sounds amazing!
We just saw Sherlock and thought it was one of the best productions we’ve seen in a long time. Now I want to see everything ART does!
A play involving a little boy and trains? I’m in.
This sounds truly amazing and would love to see this.
If I can’t see this, I’ll be LOST.
I’d love to see anything that has “trickery” or so called mystery… Because I’m a lonely person and this keeps me entertained, from my loneliness. Crippling loneliness.
This sounds INTENSE!! I need a good place to take a first date, and this is just the ticket…please, PICK ME!!
=-D
This sounds great!
Death defying trickery is right up my alley. I would love these tickets, as I am a culture vulture in need of an artsy transfusion to start the new year off with a brilliant bang!
I know what you want
I know what you need
Better than you do
I know why you came
To watch The Lost Boys…….(beauty has her way!)
Oh wait, I read that wrong!
yes, please!
I would love to see some theater in Portland–unfortunately can’t afford it. Free tickets would be amazing!
Would be great to attend this!! Thanks for the chance!!!
I held a circus based murder mystery for halloween and would love to top off the year with this!
I would really enjoy going to a theater show soon, I miss the arts and would love to win. THANKS
loosely based on a true story?!… I’m in!
This ‘loosely based on truth’ story sounds fascinating, and I would love to see it!
My great grandmother was employed by Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey as a sideshow attraction starting from 1901 when she was 18. Her name was Grace Gilbert. She was one of the original women working as “Bearded Ladies” Fascinating period with a personal link. Would love to go.
I haven’t been to this theatre yet, and I’d love to check it out!
Wow! I love Artists Repertory Theatre and the arts in general. I’d love to take my sister to this play. We are both unemployed and can’t afford luxuries like this right now.
I would love to go and see this! Thank you for the opportunity.
Who doesn’t like a good mystery. Would be a great birthday present for myself.
This looks really interesting. It would be fun to see!
please please me. thank you!
