Portland, Oregon’s immersive theatre company Speculative Drama is bringing The Skin Coat on tour to Alaska!

The Skin Coat, devised and performed at Portland underground club The Steep and Thorny Way to Heaven last spring, is an immersive retelling of Grimm’s lesser-known Cinderella variant: Thousandfurs. In this exploration of the classic tale, Speculative Drama’s collaborative ensemble takes the original story, full of threatened incest, impossible decisions, magical clothing, and a princess’ tale of love disguised as a monstrous beast, and examines it through the lens of the princess’ agency: claimed by fleeing her kingdom and taking her fate into her own hands. 

The Skin Coat takes inspiration from Icelandic imagery and music, drawing on their legacy of folklore and magical creatures, while constructing an original world rich in mystical characters, spells, and an acceptance of the extraordinary as ordinary.

With a production which relies on minimal sound cues and has no lines, audience members are free to chat, move about the space, and order drinks during the show - they are fully immersed in the world of the play and free to explore that world as they watch the story unfold..

Ensemble: Peyton McCandless, Zed Jones, Kirsten Webb, Nathan H.G., and Megan Skye HaleArtistic Director and Director: Megan Skye HaleCreative Director and Sound Designer: Myrrh Larsen

Portland, Oregon theatre company Speculative Drama was founded to explore the intersection of classic stories and immersive theatre. Helmed by Artistic Director and London-trained classical and movement actor Megan Skye Hale and Creative Director, Technical Designer, and Portland-based musician Myrrh Larsen, Speculative Drama aims to reclaim the relevance of myths, fairy tales, and Shakespeare through movement theatre, immersive staging, and site-specific production. Speculative Drama places the audience directly into the action of our productions, combining the principles of environmental theatre, rich and immersive soundscapes, and an extremely intimate setting. They create an atmosphere of innovation while honoring and maintaining the original texts or source materials.

Progressive High-Energy String Band w/ roots in old-time, folk and bluegrass.

While strongly rooted in bluegrass, old-time, and folk music, the band produces a sound that draws on the vaults of music collectively and individually enjoyed throughout the course of their lives thus far. The music doesn’t lend itself well to categories or boundaries. One could possibly be formed, but the boys seem to generally prefer fishing a river, or enjoying the company of friends and barley beers.

With their music well-defined or not, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades has begun to form a place in the American music scene, gaining recognition on both a regional and national scale. The band took 3rd place at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s Band Competition in 2012 and has since shared the stage with Trampled By Turtles, The Travelin’ McCourys, Railroad Earth, Merle Haggard, The Infamous Stringdusters, Yonder Mountain String Band, Marty Stuart, and many more. The group’s third full-length Middle Western was released in March of 2015 and another record is expected in 2017. Being mostly inspired by rivers, valleys, good friends, and good drink, this five-piece is as sturdy as any Midwest riverbed and will make your toes tap from sundown to sunrise.
