Art Exhibit: hold my hand / suéltame by Krystal Pérez
Portland Center Stage will host hold my hand / suéltame, an art exhibit by Portland-based multidisciplinary artist Krystal Perez.

The Importance of Being Earnest
A world-premiere adaptation! Set in a version of 1919 that nods knowingly at today, this Earnest unfolds in a world not unlike D.C. in our current moment—where wealth, identity, and reputation remain a currency of survival. Bush reimagines Wilde’s dandies as queer-coded, class-hopping schemers: Jack is the “femme fastidious one,” Algernon, the “masc party boy.” The result is a joyful farce with teeth—delivering Wilde’s infamous wit while interrogating who gets to shape the rules of decorum, desire, and decency. Come for the farce, stay for the romance!
Art Exhibit: Gente de Río by Orlando Almanza
Portland Center Stage will host Gente de Río, a painting exhibit by Cuban-born artist Orlando Almanza featuring large-scale, luminous portraits that reflect his deeply personal memories of rest, family, and community.
