In addition to ongoing regular programming, Oregon Humanities occasionally offers public lectures, panels, and reading and discussion series in communities around the state. We also work in partnership with other organizations to offer this type of programming.
Oregon Humanities Partners with Portland Center Stage on An Iliad Programs
Oregon Humanities is partnering with Portland Center Stage to cosponsor two special events in conjunction with the production of An Iliad.
- Oregon Stories of War are innovative performances in which military veterans, after interviews and subsequent training and rehearsal, have staged the “telling” of their stories for our community, on Mondays, November 1, 8, and 15, at 7:00 p.m. at PCS’s Ellyn Bye Studio Theater, 128 NW 11th Ave., Portland. This event is cosponsored by the Telling Project and Oregon Humanities.
- War: What Is It Good For is a panel on war and art as a tool for understanding war and its aftermath, in conjunction with its production An Iliad, on Sunday, November 7, following the 2:00 p.m. matinee (approximately 3:45) at PCS’s Ellyn Bye Studio Theater, 128 NW 11th Ave., Portland.
Panelists include Barry Sanders (author of The Green Zone: The Environmental Costs of Militarism and writer-in-residence at Pacific Northwest College of Art); writer and army-wife Sarah Gilbert; Nigel Nicholson (professor of classics, Reed College); and artist-writer Kirsten Rian (who has taught poetry to boy-soldiers in post-war Sierra Leone). Moderated by Tim DuRoche of the World Affairs Council. The panel is free and open to the public.
Participants to either event are encouraged to take advantage of a special $5 discount to An Iliad. Mention this offer for phone orders (503-445-3700) or use redemption code TROJANS to order tickets online. This offer is good for any Tuesday through Sunday performance (October 1 to November 21). This offer is not good with any other offer, student tickets, or previously purchased tickets. Seating subject to availability.
