Time to see some theatre

It’s the morning after the Drammy Awards, and what’s a body to do?

If you were up all night cage dancing at Embers, some R & R may be first on the list.

But after that, how does seeing some theatre sound?

Here’s the first of several special offers just for you that will be coming down the channel today.

As we saw last night, Portland, more than almost any city its size, is currently awash in unique, original, unforgettable and increasingly world class theatre.

So here’s some special offer love to make sure you get to see it all.

First up, the Broadway bound world premiere of SOMEWHERE IN TIME over at Portland Center Stage.

Use the code DRAMMY to get $10 off any ticket.

You look marvelous

And to help you look additionally marvelous, here’s a great summer offer just for you from Portland theatre photographer Owen Carey.

You’ve seen his work everywhere, and you know how good it is.

Here’s a nice testimony on his headshots:

“As a director, I immediately noticed how Owen’s headshots stood out from the rest. You get the essence of the actor, something that resonates. You see it. You can feel it. His photos are every bit as good as the best in LA or NYC. As an actor shooting with Owen, I found that he has an incredible eye for detail and a willingness to explore, which allowed me to do the same. The result were stunning headshots. He found the real characters that live inside me. You won’t get overly “pretty” shots that misrepresent your look and he doesn’t rely on the same pose and lighting set-up for every actor — his pictures illuminate the actor, not the photographer.”

Tommy Harrington, director, actor

Need some new headshots? Now’s the time.

The best.

The best.
