After being pestered by devils for more than half a year, Margery Kempe – new mother, mayor’s daughter, and proprietress of a highly profitable beer business – is liberated from her torment by a vision of Jesus Christ in purple robes.
Visions are hard to come by, even in 1401. Should we trust the new Margery, with her fasting and her weeping and her chastity fixation, or burn her with the other heretics? Can a woman of insatiable appetites just up and audition for sainthood? Playwright, OBIE-winning actor, and UO alumni Heidi Schreck conjures a collision of contemporary and medieval imaginations: a very funny, a little bit scary new play about faith and its messengers.

From William Shakespeare’s sonnets, LOVE WILL SHAKE weaves several narratives across the four seasons, as fourteen characters love, lust, betray, lose, pine, whine and play. This new work has something for everybody who has interest in Shakespeare: songs, dancing, swordplay, clowning, a couple of ghosts, and several famous love scenes, not to mention highly speculative “history,” just the way Will liked it. Come watch the sonnets spring to life in this tapestry celebrating the many “patterns of love.”

I Ain’t Yo’ Uncle explores America’s racial past through the lens of one of the most influential texts ever written: Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” In this witty self-reflective drama that blends 19th century melodrama and 1990s hip hop culture, Alexander brings Stowe’s characters to life so that they may deconstruct stereotypes of African Americans and write their own history. With George acting as judge, Tom, Eliza, Cassy, and Topsy put Stowe on trial for her misrepresentation of the enslaved South and by doing so, challenge audiences to also question how historical stereotypes of African Americans continue to persist today.
