CoHo Announces Their Upcoming Endless Summer Events

Endless Summer continues going strong with DANTE by Kaitlin Phillips. Dante opens this Thursday for a three day run.

Love is dead . . . now for the afterlife.

Dante, The famed author is penniless, miserable, and so uninspired he can barely write an advertising jingle. He could write again if only the woman he loves would return, but when she shows up with a surprising offer, Dante is forced to choose between abandoning the only good thing in his life and watching his one true love leave him forever.

Fresh from the Canadian Fringe Circuit, three local actors explore questions of love, immortality, and why a brilliant poet can't tell a decent joke in the World Premiere of a play by Kaitlin Phillips, an exciting young playwright!

Reviews From The Road:
"Fascinating ...[an] intense, highly nuanced performance... 4 stars" - Eye Weekly, Toronto
"...superb...a challenging thought-provoking show" Meg Barker, Piggyback Fringe
Dante Runs Thursday Friday and Saturday at 7:30 Suggested Ticket Price $10

SUNDAY 10pm - One time only! It's A TERRIBLE Movie!
Will Radick KJ and Man about Town, FatBoy Roberts of Kort and Fatboy on KUFO and Midnight Movie Co-Host, and Erik Hendricksen Portland Mercury Film Editor and Author of The Warriors Comic.
Watch a bad movie in the company of others while local personalities (DJ's Comedians, Actors) provide running commentary on the film. The peanut gallery is open to making fun of the movie and riffing on it's flaws. A live action Mystery Science Theater 3000- if you will. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO COHO THEATER.

ALSO THIS WEEK

WEDNESDAY 10pm (ongoing): Original Works by Valory J. Lawrence
Valory J. Lawrence teaches theater at Portland State University and PCC. She has traveled all over the US and Canada as a stand-up comedienne.

MONDAY 10pm - Last One(s) Standing Cabaret
Three in development Cabaret Acts work out the bugs while sharing a little music with you.
