"I first saw Rocky Horror when I was 9 years old, and it blew my mind and changed my life. I made my mom take me and my 6 year old sister to see it in West Hollywood, bless her heart. They called all the virgins on stage, so we went. "Do you want to get me arrested, kid? Sit back down." As a freshman at Reed, I took my dorm mates to see it for their first time. So glad for your uninterrupted commitment to educating today's youth." Nili Yosha

Got grandkids or other young family members? Want to spend some quality time with them? Give them a treat they'll never forget--The Amazing Bubble Man!

"Greatest bubble show on Earth." - SFGate.com

Since the 14th Century, the North Star has guided voyagers —helping to determine their position and point them toward their destination — and also served as a metaphor, that constant people have come to depend on to point the way in moments of doubt in life’s voyage.

Howard Alder, Pam Maben, Holly Robison and Penny Walters,, four members of the Portland Storytellers Guild will dwell on this phenomenon in “Follow Your North Star” at the Clinton Street Theater, Saturday evening, March 7, revealing what they consider their “North Star” in true tales about how they followed it, were inspired by it and sometimes even strayed off course.

Do you have a “North Star” of your own? Maybe faith? Love? Family? Tradition? Their stories may help you identify it and plumb memories of where it led you.

Backed up by interviews with biblical scholars from none other than Wheaton itself, Same God pointedly reveals the flaws in dogmatic Christianity, the cost of speaking truth to power, and the amazing strength of a woman standing by her convictions. It’s a tale of David and Goliath, a testament to the power of faith.

Born in Vienna, Fritz Lang (1890-1976) became one of Germany’s and Hollywood’s most famous directors. This fictional documentary, directed by Gordian Maugg, shows how Lang’s first sound film, “M”, starring Peter Lorre, came to be. It also presents a biographical story of Lang that is gripping but speculative.

Produced solely in black and white as an ingenious mosaic of documentary fragments, live scenes, and scenes from the movie “M”, Maugg’s film is a first class psychological thriller.

Fritz Lang Films include: Metropolis, Destiny, Dr. Mabuse, Die Nibelungen, M, You only live once, Scrarlet Street, and many more

Have you ever stepped over a threshold, into a new beginning? Did you act with clear intent, or accidentally, perhaps even by mistake, only realizing you had passed into new territory when you looked back?

Storytellers Eric Foxman, Wink Harner, Janet Liu and Chuck McConnell consider such passages in their own lives and in the lives of others – both real and imagined — in “Thresholds and Passageways,” the Portland Storytellers Guild monthly show, Saturday evening, April 4 at the Clinton Street Theater.

The Invincible Czars are a hard-to-classify quintet from Austin, TX. Regarded as Austin's emperors of eclecticism, they make music for thinkers, geeks, nerds and seekers/lovers of all things in the "other" category. The group brings a curiosity and sense of adventure to each project with a belief that their audience shares a desire to explore a broader gamut of emotions, sounds and styles than is typically found in a single act or in most mainstream entertainment.

Their shows are always entertaining and out of the ordinary. You can find them performing their own soundtracks to silent films, playing holiday dance parties or rocking their meticulously arranged melodic original tunes in theaters, nightclubs, art spaces, museums, universities, backyards, restaurants, living rooms and street festivals all over.

About the director:

Rosa von Praunheim was born Holger Mischwitzky in 1942 in Riga, Latvia. He was raised in the GDR just outside of Berlin up until 1953, when he fled with his parents. After a few detours, the family settled in Frankfurt am Main in the district of Praunheim, where Mischwitzky attended a humanistic high school. Leaving school early, he then studied painting at the Offenbacher Werkkunstschule (today: Offenbach University of Art and Design [HfG]). After a year, he transferred to the Berlin University of the Arts. He ended his studies without graduating. At that time, the mid-1960s, he also adopted his artist name, Rosa von Praunheim, which he sees as a reference to the Frankfurt district of Praunheim, where he lived as a child, and the “Rosa Winkle” (“pink triangle”), the symbol used to by the Third Reich to identify homosexuals in the concentration camps.

To date, Rosa von Praunheim has directed over 70 films. More than 20 of them premiered at the Berlinale, making him the record holder. In addition to making films, since the 1960s Rosa von Praunheim has also been active as an author and has published books such as Sex und Karriere [Sex and Career], Armee der Liebenden oder Aufstand der Perversen [Army of Lovers, or Revolt of the Perverts], and Ein Penis stirbt immer zuletzt [A Penis Is Always the Last to Die]). From 2000 to 2006, he taught film direction at the Academy for Film and Television in Potsdam, and in 2009 he became a member of the Berlin Academy of Arts, section Film and Media Art; from 2015 to 2018, he was even the director of that section. In 2015, he added the German Federal Cross of Merit to his long list of awards.
