From Fayra Teeters, Subud Portland:
Subud Friends:
It is with a proud, yet heavy, heart that I announce the Final Season of Masque Alfresco – and probably my very last Acting/Directing project.
Why, you may be asking? I turn 75 this summer – time to retire. Everyone in my company has “moved on” – so, no one to pass the torch to.
So, come out to celebrate with me & the current company members – 21 years of FREE plays in Portland Area parks
Masque Alfresco presents: Winnie the Pooh and Lao-Tzu Too
A musical fantasy mash-up of Pooh Bear stories and Chinese Taoist Folktales
Adapted/Directed by Fayra Teeters Musical Direction by Albert Palmeter
Performing Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays @ 7:00 pm
July 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31 Beaverton Library Lawn 12375 SW 5th Ave. & Hall Blvd.
August 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 George Rogers Park Iron Foundry, lower area of park bordering the river – Lake Oswego
Cast:
Michael Koach as Pooh Bear, musician, the healing Pea, and the Mole
Kerry Kehoe as Lao-Tzu and Owl
Kenneth Dembo as Eeyore, Confucius, and the Foolish Lion
Fayra Teeters as Rabbit, Chinese Grandmothers, and the Snail
Amanda Friedly as Christopher Robin and Sheng, the Dragon-boy
Sara Beth Friedly as Piglet, the sickly girl, and the Bird
Nirel Jackson as Webmaster!
Although Masque Alfresco has always been Family-Friendly, this show is by no means “Children’s Theatre”. As we say in our final song: “We’re portraying deeper sense, so please don’t take Offense!”
This hour-long play is infused with Taoist philosophy, commedia dell’arte slapstick schtick, colorful characters, plus 6 original songs.
Be sure to bring lawn chairs, blankets, picnics, leashed pets, children & your funny bones!
