Portland Center Stage (PCS) is thrilled to present "PETE's a seagull," a captivating new production by the Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble (PETE). This innovative performance is scheduled to run from June 27 to July 13, 2024, in the intimate Ellyn Bye Studio, located at 128 NW Eleventh Ave, Portland, OR 97209.

"PETE's a seagull" is not just a play; it's an experience that intertwines love letters, elegies, and the essence of theatrical creation and deconstruction. It invites audiences to reflect on the role of artists in the world and the transformative power of theater. The production promises a unique blend of dead birds, beating hearts, and moments of madness or reprieve, making it a must-see for theater enthusiasts.

The play is a result of PETE's decade-long exploration of new translations of Chekhov's works, drawing on Štĕpán Šimek’s translation of "The Seagull" and the writing of company member Chris Gonzalez. Directed by Rebecca Lingafelter, the performance features a talented cast including Jacob Coleman, Cristi Miles, Maureen Porter, Damaris Webb, Roo Welsh, Amber Whitehall, and Ken Yoshikawa. The design team comprises Jenny Ampersand, Miranda K Hardy, Peter Ksander, Trevor Sargent, and Mark Valadez, with stage management by Kristina Mast and production management by Molly Gardner.

PETE has been a dynamic force in the performance community since 2011, creating original devised works and new plays that have been celebrated for their inventiveness and impact. "PETE's a seagull" builds on this legacy, offering an engaging and thought-provoking theatrical experience.

For those interested in attending, assistive listening devices are available for all performances, ensuring accessibility for all patrons. Don't miss this opportunity to witness a groundbreaking piece of theater that asks poignant questions about our existence and the nature of art itself.
