Back to the Future

Written by

From the writers and producers of last year’s smash original hit: Die Hard the Musical Parody,  we proudly brings you our newest original musical parody: Back to the Future, the Musical Parody!

Doc Brown. Marty McFly. An iconic time machine. A bully. A school dance. Oedipal overtones. We all know the story.

Or do we?

Return with us to Hill Valley to find out how things really unfolded on that fateful week back in 1955 when Marty McFly accidentally prevented his parents’ first meeting, thus threatening his own existence!

With 14 original songs, this show presents a treasured classic in a way you’ve never imagined.

See it. Or Darth Vader will come down from the planet Vulcan and melt your brain.

Cabaret

Written by

A government bent on silencing the media and cleansing its citizenry; lies and corruption dominate the headlines; nationalism slowly infects us and our neighbors start to disappear.

Outside… life is disappointing. But in the Kit Kat Klub… life is BEAUTIFUL!!

Come witness an event unlike any other in Portland as Fuse Theatre Ensemble and The OUTwright Theatre Festival present a site-specific rendering of queer icons John Kander and Fred Ebb’s most iconic musical, Cabaret. Step back in time to investigate the present as last century’s headlines become today’s tweets and we are reminded once again how society can creep slowly towards fascism without even realizing it.

There is no use permitting the Prophet of Doom to wipe every smile away. Life is a Cabaret, old chum. Come to the Cabaret!!

Content warning: Mature audience only. Nazi imagery. Nudity. Implied alcohol and drug use.
