A rollercoaster of pianistic flourishes, Rachmaninoff’s ravishing rhapsody is given a tour-de- force performance by soloist Simon Trpčeski. Dvořák’s distinctly Bohemian style shines in his brooding, mysterious Seventh Symphony, in which the composer gives voice to personal grief and the struggles of his nation.

Music by Gioachino Rossini; Libretto by Cesare Sterbini
The wheeling and dealing Figaro plays matchmaker between the savvy Rosina and the lovesick Count Almaviva, while Rosina’s vulturous guardian does everything he can to keep the lovebirds apart. Full of schemes and hijinks, this “zany creation that is incredibly funny and wildly colorful” (City Arts) finishes the season on a high note.
Lindy Hume’s “bright hilarious production” (The Stranger) is an audience favorite with magnificently colorful sets and costumes. Combined with Gioachino Rossini’s familiar and show-stopping tunes, this production is a treat for ears and eyes alike!

Event Details
Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.
Don’t miss your chance to see this groundbreaking production live! Buy your tickets now and prepare to be moved and inspired by Passing Strange. You won’t be disappointed!

A co-production between Corrib Theatre and Historical Alberta House
Production Sponsored by:
Charlotte Rubin and Oregon Cultural Trust
Something stirs on the Other Side and comes knocking…
Commissioned by Corrib Theatre, From a Hole in the Ground is an original work by Portland-based playwright, poet, and actor Ken Yoshikawa, inspired by Irish folklore. Corrib will collaborate with Alberta House to develop the play, which will include mythic figures like ghosts, fairies, and even the Púca, a morally ambiguous trickster creature from Celtic lore.
Someone, some thing, has returned from the grave hell bent on a long due confrontation, upsetting the world of the good folk, and set to bring chaos to mortals too. An exploration of fairytale, time, and connection.

Event Details
Get ready to embark on a thrilling musical journey with Passing Strange. This Tony Award-winning show, which inspired a Spike Lee movie, follows the life of a young Black musician, known as The Youth, as he searches for his artistic and personal identity.
Set against the backdrop of the 1970s and 80s, the story takes you on a wild ride from the gospel churches of South Central LA to the punk rock clubs of Amsterdam and Berlin. Filled with electrifying rock music, soulful ballads, and powerful storytelling, Passing Strange is a triumph of live theater.
You’ll be swept up in The Youth’s quest to find himself, and you’ll experience the ups and downs of his relationships. With themes of race, art, and rebellion, this show is as relevant today as it was when it first premiered on Broadway.
