Reading Local: Portland

I had a tough time picking an event to highlight today.  I chose the Arty Words reading at Disjecta with Curtis White and David Biespiel, but could just have easily gone with the Tapestry of Tales Tellabration and Finale at The First Unitarian Church, or tonight’s benefit show of “Holidazed” at the Artists Repertory Theatre:

Willamette Writers has bought out the house for tonight’s showing of the play “Holidazed” as a benefit for Books for Kids and Young Willamette Writers. This twisted and heart-warming holiday show, written by C.S. Whitcomb and Marc Acito, played to sold- out houses in 2008 and is back at Artists Repertory Theatre this year with a few new sparks. Benefit tickets are $36 for adults, $26 seniors (over 60 years old), and $22 for any students. This Saturday night performance seats normally sell for $47, so it’s also a deal!

To buy tickets, call Bill Johnson at (503) 452- 1592 or purchase your benefit tickets on line at www.willamettewriters.com.
