Fall in Portland is a time of year I look forward to with the bright-eyed excitement of a mid-’90s seven-year-old with a shiny new Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper—and for similar reasons. As local theater companies announce their upcoming seasons, and lineups for festivals like PICA’s Time-Based Art Festival and the All Jane Comedy Festival finally arrive, the fall arts season is a delightful, jam-packed grace period before the tyranny of holiday plays and doldrums of January.
It’s also overwhelming: In such a frontloaded season for arts and culture, where do you even begin?
We’ve made it easy.
