For Reasons Not Entirely Romantic - Portland Pride Play Festival

For Reasons Not Entirely Romantic by Bill Lynch assembles a cast of friends and associates with complicated lives in a full-length drama. Alexa (played by Kathleen Barnebey) is hoping to begin sharing a home and a life in New York with Maurice (played by Tony Domingue), despite the fact that she is a “hopelessly straight” woman and he is a gay man. Meanwhile, their friends — bisexual Monique (Stephanie Crowley) and lesbian Trinity (Leslie Inmon) — are facing a rocky patch in their marriage which may or may not work itself out. And things only get more complicated when Alexa’s ex-husband Benny (Ira Kortum) shows up. Directed by Jeremy Cole.

For Reasons Not Entirely Romantic is the fourth of eight staged readings in the first annual Portland Pride Play Festival, produced by Third Eye Theatre.

The Portland Pride Play Festival performs July 18 through 20 at CoHo Productions in Portland, with plays ranging from comedies to dramas, all written by local playwrights, and featuring characters from every color on the rainbow (as well as a few villains) covering the breadth of the queer experience. The roles are read by Portland-area actors who are equally representative of this diversity.

Tickets are Pay What You Will ($20 suggested donation, via cash, CashApp, or credit/debit card) at the door for any show.

Ticket sales begin 30 minutes prior to showtime.

Seats are first come, first served.
