People in the service industry work odd hours. It’s a condition of their employment that bars them from certain cultural activities normally scheduled in the evening. As a result, the only theater many bartenders, waiters, chefs, and dishwashers are exposed to is the tragic/comic antics of their customers… And also, auditions: “I’m just gonna bust my hump in this shitty dive ‘till I can pay for new head shots and get discovered.”
I’m sure Portland Center Stage loves seeing service industry professionals trying to get their asses on stage, but they’d also like to have their asses in the seats. To that end, they are scheduling a special WednesdayThursday matinee of How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found. Flashing an OLCC card or food handlers card will get you in for a measly ten bucks.
Our own Alison Hallett sums up How to Disappear… as “an appropriate parable for an over-entitled and under-satisfied culture.” Hmm… Over entitled and under-satisfied? I think I served a couple assholes like that when I was doing my time in the industry.
The PCS service industry matinee of How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found is tomorrow at noon, in the studio theater at the Armory.
Is it “a wednesday matinee” or “tomorrow at noon”? These are very different things…
Tomorrow? Or Wednesday? Which is today. TELL ME PATRICK! I want to go.
Is two Patty-free days in a row too much to ask?
It’s Thursday at noon- use the password “SIN” online at http://www.pcs.org/disappear or just bring your OLCC or Food Handler’s card down to the box office manana (Thursday) and they’ll take good care of you.
Having worked in it for many years, I must say, the theatre of the SI is not to be underestimated.
Sorry. Fixed. I would have fixed it sooner, but I was at lunch, lost in a muffuletta sandwich.
Oooohh…that happened to me once Patrick except instead of a “muffuletta sandwich” it was the “internet” and instead of “lost” it was “dicking around with”….still, same same right?
Another hint: pay cash in person and save yourself $5 in handling fees
