About PST
Portland Story Theater, brain child of
Lynne Duddy, was launched in 2003 to bring the urban community together for a unique performance experience, telling tales that stimulate the mind and rouse the heart. Using personal story as the foundation, tellers work collaboratively to expose and explore the universality of the human experience. This is live theater as you've never seen it before, with no sets, no costumes, no props, and no fourth wall --- just the teller and the audience and the authentic story that unfolds between them.

On Sale Now is Portland Story Theater's eleventh major production in Portland. Past productions have included Alton Chung in Okage Sama De (I am What I am Because of You); Lawrence Howard in Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare: The Endurance; Licking The Plate; Who Am I And Where Is My Coffee?; And Then The Bed Broke!; Always Say Yes!; Beginner's Luck; Everybody's Got One; All the Wrong Places; and Love, Death, and Other Scary Stuff.


















On Sale Now - Rick Huddle
Today's consumer faces big questions: Were my jeans made in a sweatshop? How much gas did it take to bring this kiwi to Portland? If I don't shop at a Big Box store, where do I buy my tube socks? ...Will this make me happy?

Interactive, humorous, and refreshingly honest, ON SALE NOW! tells the extraordinary stories of everyday people to see how they're affected by, and affect, our world economy.

A six-year old boy finds identity in a pair of green tennis shoes. Two brothers imagine a better life while looking at a Sky Mall catalog. A university student ponders the value of humanity while mopping the floor of a quickie mart. Storyteller, humorist, and physical comedian Rick Huddle engages the audience and journeys with them to explore the answers within us all.

"He made the most of the possibilities of one body onstage."
– San Francisco Chronicle

"Huddle is an engrossing presence"
– Just Out

"Rick is a warm, natural performer committed to discovering the real truth of the world and ourselves."
– Mike Daisey, monologist

Coming in 2008!
April 11, 12, 18, 19 ~ Lynne Duddy in dark matter
96 percent of the universe is stuff we've never seen. Everything on our beloved planet, every planet, every star, moon, asteroid, comet, nebula and gas cloud make up the visible 4 percent. Using the science of humankind as a metaphor for the human heart, Lynne weaves a tale through the darkness into the light. Just how much does our own darkness feed our light? And like the cosmos, does our knowledge of the dark matter increase our understanding of what we can see?


Also in 2008!
April ~ Lynne Duddy
dark matter
Take a ride on the dark side, as performance artist Lynne Duddy unravels the mystery of dark matter and how it relates to ordinary life on planet earth. She reveals the truth about the black holes of life and the invisible bonds that holds each of us together.
