Fool House Art Collective

Yesterday was a preview night for Pillows.

A night of many firsts:
- first show in Portland
- first time The House Studio fully worked as a black box
- first time using our new lights
- first time using a kabuki drop
- first time trying English audio subtitles
- first English-speaking audience

And we don’t even have photos yet, so here are a few from our Seattle performance. Thank you Prophoto Marina Savilova Seattle

Not everything was perfect. But something was very real.

We felt the audience. We saw you smile, react, and lean in.
Some moments landed. Some still need work - and with so many firsts in one day, that’s inevitable.

That’s what previews are for.

If you were there, we’d really love to hear from you: what stayed with you, what didn’t, what you noticed.

Thanks to Oregon Cultural Trust, Autzen Foundation, Rupela, and our generous community and hardworking volunteers, The House Studio is ready to open its doors.

Come see our family show Pillows and our new intimate, convertible black box.

The first show is tomorrow, and there are just 2 tickets left. Oregon Cultural Trust Rupela Home

Thank you ArtsWatch!

The city's annual festival of new works, a co-production between Portland Center Stage and Portland Playhouse, and new shows from Carol Triffle and Samantha Van Der Merwe will quench our thirst for innovative theater this month. Plus: More openings, continuing shows, and PCS’s new season.
