A Busy Spring at Third Rail

Spring has descended on Portland, and the energy is palpable. We've certainly caught the fever at Third Rail. We have crammed the final months of the 2009-2010 season with events that you won't want to miss. A world premiere, a day-long Craig Wright extravaganza, and the latest from London await you. Read on!

The Gray Sisters Opens April 30
The_cast_of_The_Gray_Sisters

Here it is! The long-awaited premiere of our first commissioned work. There's so much we can't tell you about the work that Craig Wright has written especially for our actresses -- we want it to be a surprise. With The Gray Sisters, Craig continues to exercise his wonderful theatricality and to explore big questions. Gretchen Corbett, Stephanie Gaslin, Maureen Porter, and Valerie Stevens are giving some of the most powerful performances of their careers here -- and if you're familiar with their past work, you know that's really saying something! Come see The Gray Sisters early, because we wager you'll want to come back a second time.

The Gray Sisters runs April 30 through May 23 at the World Trade Center Theatre. Call 503-235-1101 to reserve tickets or purchase them online at www.thirdrailrep.org. The Gray Sisters contains adult themes and is not suitable for young children.



Sunday May 9: Craig Wright Day

If you attended "Leenane Day," when we treated you to an entire day devoted to Martin McDonagh's Leenane Trilogy, then you're gonna love Sunday, May 9. We're devoting the entire day to the work of Craig Wright. Along with our mainstage show, we're revving up the time machine to revisit two of our most successful productions. At 10:30 AM, hear a reading of Third Rail's very first production, Recent Tragic Events, with the original cast. This is the one that put Third Rail on the map back in 2005, garnering us a slew of Drammy awards. After the reading, you'll have time for a quick lunch before the 2:00 PM matinee of The Gray Sisters. Then, at 6:00 PM, we'll read Craig's lovely play The Pavilion, once again featuring the original cast from our popular production back at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center. The readings are free, and seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis. You don't have to attend the matinee to see the readings, but why not make a day of it? We guarantee that by day's end you'll be looking at the world, and your place in it, in whole new way.

May 15 and 16, via NT Live: Alan Bennett's The Habit of Art
The_Habit_of_Art

Our next screening of live-captured performance from the National Theatre, London via NT Live will be the acclaimed new drama from Alan Bennett, The Habit of Art. The high-definition screenings of this productionk, sold out in London, will be Saturday May 15 at 2:00 PM, and Sunday May 16 at 7:00 PM. All tickets are $20. The reviewer for the Daily Telegraph said of this play, "I can think of few plays that combine wild laughter, deep emotion and technical ingenuity with such bravura. The Habit of Art is a smash hit if ever I saw one...Alex Jennings is superb...Frances de la Tour, as the stage manager and Adrian Scarborough as the biographer Humphrey Carpenter, give performances of comic perfection." The Habit of Art is recommended for mature audiences. Call 503-235-1101 for reservations, or go online to reserve now.
