"This month, Fuse Theatre Ensemble will stage the world premiere of Portland playwright Mikki Gillette's first musical, Magnetic Electric, a story featuring a trans romance and a right-wing provocateur, and Shaking the Tree Theatre is examining contemporary life - and resistance - via the world of fairy tales with its production of Dancing on the Sabbath, while Profile Theatre is opening its season with , Jen Silverman's new deal-with-the-devil drama."
"Meanwhile, downstate, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is offering its last performances for this season and Rogue Theater in Ashland is staging Waiting for Godot. And for folks who like their theater infused with a dash of fear, check out Stage Fright Festival's queer horror at CoHo Theatre, I Am Frankenstein at Magenta Theater in Vancouver, at Lakewood Theatre, and the immersive Frankenstein at Experience Theatre Project, while young masqueraders are invited to join the parade at Northwest Children's Theatre's annual Halloween Ball."
""I feel stressed when I don't have new ideas," playwright Mikki Gillette says. Luckily, a dearth of ideas hasn't been a problem for one of Portland's most prolific writers. Since 2022, eight of Gillette's plays have enjoyed fully staged productions, and many others have been presented as readings at various theaters, including Twilight Theater Company's Mikki Gillette Reading Series."
Portland stages a varied October theater season featuring world premieres, contemporary reinterpretations, classics, immersive experiences, and genre shows. Fuse Theatre Ensemble debuts Mikki Gillette's first musical, Magnetic Electric, centering a trans romance and a right-wing provocateur. Shaking the Tree Theatre stages Dancing on the Sabbath, exploring fairy tales and resistance. Profile Theatre opens with Jen Silverman's new deal-with-the-devil drama. The Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Rogue Theater offer seasonal and classic fare, including Waiting for Godot. Festivals and theaters present queer horror, multiple Frankenstein adaptations, and family events like Northwest Children's Theatre's annual Halloween Ball, offering diverse options across the state.
