Ever wonder what a theatre director does?

Oregon Arts Watch invites you to be that fly on the wall as three prominent theater directors work their magic.

Rose Riordan, associate artistic director of Portland Center Stage, Brian Weaver, artistic director of Portland Playhouse, and Jerry Mouawad, co-artistic director of Imago Theatre, will each direct the same scene, a Chuck Mee “love scene,”  with Laura Faye Smith and Sean McGrath. But no peeking: The directors won’t be able to watch each other work (until their stint is finished). After it’s all over, we’ll have the chance to talk about what just happened.

The performance will take place Saturday, October 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Ellyn Bye Studio in the Armory, 128 N.W. 11th Ave. Tickets are $10, plus service charge.

Visit Box Office Tickets for more information. Tickets will be available at the door, too.
