World Premiere
Welcome to Cabbotville! Step right into this quaint Oregon town grappling with hard times since the logging mill closed. Enter Rudy, a queer kid whose disappearance leaves the whole town flummoxed. Did he run away? Perhaps he rode off on a magical ostrich? Or, could his disappearance be linked to something a little more out of this world–like a close encounter of the Third Kind? The Event! is a delightfully playful experience (maybe with a slight naughty twinkle) filled with surprising twists and turns. If you need a play that will be a sanctuary of laughter and optimism, this is the show for you!
