THE INTERSECTION // Ask Dr. Carla
Fri, March 15, 7 p.m. | Type: Live Performance Tickets: $25
Ready to take the leap into therapy? Great! Because you’re in need and Dr. Carla needs your money. Ask Dr. Carla is a hilarious new night of improvisational drag comedy starring Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi—she might not have degrees or qualifications, but she has a full bar, liability waivers, and a couch with your name on it. Joined by her enterprising receptionist Svetlana Trantastic, Carla and Svetty welcome a special celebrity headliner client onto the couch each session so you—and they—don’t have to do all the work. Ask Dr. Carla: It’s like a late-night talk show, except it’s unlicensed therapy with unhinged drag queens.
SNEAK PEEKS // Sometimes I Think About Dying Thu, March 21, 7 p.m. | Type: Film
Tickets: $15
“A graceful treatise on how challenging — but liberating — it can be to make connections.” —
The Hollywood Reporter
“It’s hard isn’t it? Being a person.” Filmed in Astoria, OR, director Rachel Lambert & team crafted this delicately told story of love for the socially awkward and emotionally challenged. The film is made all the more human by its lovely cast, most prominent in the penetrating eyes of lead actress/producer, Daisy Ridley, and the caring smile of lead actor, Dave Merheje. Sometimes I Think About Dying is an unexpected fable on the virtues of living.
MARCH MADNESS // Music Videos and Comedy!
Fri, March 22, 7 p.m. | Type: Music Video Screenings + Live Performance Tickets: $5
Come celebrate March Madness, not with basketball brackets, but by basking in the glorious shimmer of locally made music videos! Not only will your eyes and ears commingle in a pool of joyful ecstasy, but local comedians Lee H Tillman, Kelly Thomas, and special guest emcee Michelle Kicherer of Banana Pitch will bring this event full circle with plenty of hearty laughs and an audience applause meter.
ART HOUSE CINEMA // Showing Up & A Conversation with Cynthia Lahti Thu, March 28, 7 p.m. | Type: Film + Conversation
Tickets: $15
Following the screening of Showing Up, sculptor and visual artist Cynthia Lahti will be in conversation about her work with Grace Kook-Anderson, Arlene & Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art at the Portland Art Museum. Cynthia’s drawings and sculptures are featured in the film Showing Up, moonlighting as the artwork of fictional character Lizzy (Michelle Williams).
In Showing Up, a sculptor preparing to open a new show must balance her creative life with the daily dramas of family and friends, in Kelly Reichardt’s vibrant and captivatingly funny portrait of art and craft. This film was co-written by Reichardt and Portland’s Jon Raymond, a 2023 honoree of PAM CUT’s Cinema Unbound Awards.
