Tonight at 9 pm on OPB, there’s a very special episode of Great Performances. Now, I know you’d be watching anyway, but just in case you’re wondering what tonight’s particular great performance will be, Topless Robot has the answer:

Here’s a preview.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.
