How We Got On- Season Opener at Portland Playhouse
Dmae features Idris Goodwin's HOW WE GOT ON, the season opener for Portland Playhouse. We'll hear from director Jen Rowe, music director Mic Crenshaw and actress Ithica Tell from the production about to open September 30th-Oct. 25th.  We'll also be joined by the playwright himself Idris Goodwin via phone! 

(Aired 11am Tues 9/29  on KBOO 90.7FM or always on stagenstudio.com.)

 

Set in 1988, three teenagers, Hank, Julian, and Luann, who live in the suburbs of the Midwest dream of their beats and rhymes making them famous, in hip-hop’s golden age of the late 80’s.  The teens battle their Midwestern upbringing, their peer’s derision, and their own self-doubt in this musical coming-of-age story, while our modern day narrator and DJ, “The Selector”, gives us a hip-hop history lesson.

As they discover they love Ice T, Ed Lover and Doctor Dreenage, the three teenagers find a way to break into the urban scene and get signed to a major label, pushing through the negativity and learning to breathe in joy.

Performances are September 30th – October 25th
Wednesday - Saturday at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm
All shows are at Portland Playhouse lcoated at 602 NE Prescott St. Portland, OR 97211 Directions
