Updated May 11 The city’s largest theater company is moving forward with plans to bring performances back to its stages in front of live audiences later this year. Today, Portland Center Stage announced its 2021-2022 season lineup, which will kick off in October pending pandemic safety guidelines. That schedule features seven plays in total, four of which had been previously scheduled but were scrapped following the lockdown last spring, including
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. That tender yet haunting show folded just one week into its run in March 2020. The company traditionally starts its season with an outsize, flashy musical, but this year will instead open with a more intimate show.
