Night at the Theatre: Dear Liar Thursday, June 30, 7:30 pm Salishan Spa and Golf Resort (tickets $25) Buy tickets

There could hardly have been two people who seemed less likely to be attracted to each other than George Bernard Shaw and the actress known as Mrs. Patrick Campbell. Their paths crossed, with “Mrs. Pat” appearing bewitchingly on the stage and George Bernard Shaw reviewing her performances as he says, enchanted, in the audience. Their often contentious but fiercely devoted platonic love affair is dramatized through a reading of their forty­year correspondence. Here is Shaw in all his contradictions; he adores Mrs. Pat, most ascetically, and persuades her to play in Pygmalion. He frets with her when she leaves for America, and yet he refuses permission to publish the letters that would save her from bankruptcy. Mrs. Campbell­­­the original “Eliza Doolittle,” whose talent and dark eyed beauty kept her in demand­­is his match; she published them anyway.

Tobias Andersen as George Bernard Shaw A regional theater veteran, Tobias Andersen has been company member with The Oregon Shakespeare Festival, California Shakespeare Festival, and Playmaker's Repertory of Chapel Hill. As artistic director of Mt. Hood Repertory Theater, he guided twelve seasons of the American Classics Theater Festival. His one man show of Ray Bradbury stories, The Illustrated Bradbury, co­authored with the eminent author, has been recently published. He has appeared on many TV shows ­ most recently as a priest on Grimm. Tobias is recipient of the Portland theater community's 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award. Lorraine Bahr as Mrs. Patrick Campbell A two­time Drammy and one­time OTAS awarded Actress, Director, Writer and Teacher, Lorraine Bahr has been working in Portland since 1992. Film/TV credits include: WILD, 20th Century Fox, directed by Jean Marc Vallee; Anse & Bhule; and Grimm.

Benefit Concert: Irving Berlin Showcase Sunday, July 3, 4:00 pm Salishan Spa and Golf Resort (tickets $125) Buy tickets Susannah Mars, vocalist Rocky Blumhagen, vocalist Charlie Creasy, piano

Irving Berlin (1888­1989) is one of the most famous, prolific and enduring songwriters of the 20th century. “God Bless America,” “There’s No Business Like Show Business,” “White Christmas,” and “Blue Skies” are just a short sampling of the more than 1000 songs Irving Berlin wrote during his long career. And nearly 90 years later these songs are all still popular. He had a scandalous courtship in the early 1920’s. Berlin, a 36­year­old immigrant Jew from Belarus, Russia and the Ellin Mackay, a 21­year­old daughter of a socially prominent Irish­American Catholic family, granddaughter of a silver magnate and one of the richest men in America fell in love. Come see our show to find out the ending!
