Middletown Mall by Lava Alapai

May 24, 2024 - June 9, 2024

CoHo Theater - 2257 NW Raleigh St, Portland, OR 97210

A witty and insightful world premiere by a local playwright, written specifically for local artists, Middletown Mall pulls the audience into a 1990’s mall, where the outside world and its dangers could be held at bay. A group of twenty-somethings navigate the everyday fun and tension of friendships, food courts, annoying bosses, family drama, and karaoke, while also facing the realities of economic disparity and social pressure—until a much bigger challenge suddenly interrupts their lives. 

Run Time: Approximately 100 minutes
