In this deliciously ironic look at the foibles of love, we begin with two sisters, their fiancés, and a wager: Will the women be faithful? Of course, brag the men. Nay, says the cynical Don Alfonso. Thus we enter a world of disguises and trickery in which the women and Love itself are put to the test. Mozart’s genius turns a farce into a scintillating romp of thought provoking humor. Sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage. For tickets, visit the link below or call 503-241-1802. In Keller Auditorium.

Whodunit meets hilarious in Patrick Barlow's recklessly theatrical riff on Hitchcock’s cinematic masterpiece, which in turn was based on John Buchan’s spy genre classic. In it, a handsome British hero with stiff-upperlip, pencil moustache and gung-ho attitude encounters dastardly murders, double-crossing secret agents, and, of course, devastatingly beautiful women, all while trying to escape from an accidental entanglement with a deadly group of spies called the 39 Steps. A quick witted and acrobatic troupe of four actors create over 130 roles and a dozen locales in this rollicking evening of winking wisecracks and wow-inducing stage wizardry. Show runs through March 21. For performance days and times and ticket information, call 503-445-3700 or visit the link below. Groups of ten or more receive significant discounts; call Group Sales at 503-445-3703 for more information or to order tickets. In the Gerding Theater at the Armory, 128 N.W. Eleventh Avenue.
