There’s a lot going on this weekend—which is awesome! That is, until you can’t make a decision on what to do… If you need some help, here are some of the top notch options for what’s happening: Friday: BendFilm Presents: The Dawn Wall Rock climbing is pretty crazy when you think about it, and after […]
George Brant’s thought-provoking play, “Grounded,” is back for a second and more complete performance at 2nd Street Theater this weekend, after enjoying a popular run as a black-box production by the Cascades Theatrical Company last season. When Director Lilli Ann Linford-Foreman brought the one-woman show to life at CTC last year, she says it was […]
Die Hard Live: Seven actors do a live script reading of “Die Hard” featuring lots of blood, wigs and questionable German accents. Film Critic Jared Rasic plays decorated officer Al Powell, so come throw produce at him if he’s terrible. Actually, throw produce either way…he should eat better. Fri., Dec. 21 7:30 pm 2nd Street […]
The results are in: Out of more than 100 submissions from playwrights across the U.S., seven best works have been chosen for the Cascades Theatrical Company‘s second annual “Cascades 10!” festival of short plays.

As soon as humans learned how to draw in caves, we were making pictures of the great hunt we just went on, or of the gods we hoped had our best interests at heart. These days, even those of us with deeply ingrained fears of public speaking know the joys of having someone wrapped around […]
Two sisters. One boyfriend. And a harrowing family dysfunction on full boil—one that’s growing ever hotter with each passing moment. Throw in a loaded .357 magnum and you have more than enough ingredients for a darkly comedic trip through Los Angeles’ already pressurized Hollywood Hills – where dreams go to die on all those narrow […]
Each of us keeps a demon inside. The devil on our shoulder isn’t someone that should be heeded all of the time (or even very often), but sometimes that pitchforked baddie gives us the courage to take on something a little too large for our better angels. “Hand to God,” the latest production at 2nd […]
