Various Venues in Portland, OR

The Fertile Ground Festival of New Works is a citywide, multi-week performing arts festival taking place in venues throughout Portland, Oregon and the surrounding areas.

This year's lineup includes site specific theatre, dance, solo shows, aerial performance, puppetry, and dozens upon dozens of brand-new scripts by some of Portland's most celebrated and prolific playwrights.

Schedule of Events:

7:30PM - The Long Reach of the Alligator by Sean Arlo

Adrift in the sea of life? Grab the nearest buoy and escape the jaws of a shady pyramid scheme at the Portland premiere of this musical comedy! Searching for meaning and security, Vanessa falls under the spell of a get-rich-quick ploy and online dating, only to realize that something evil lurks beneath the surface. As her world crumbles, she realizes there is only one way out. Can she outswim… The Long Reach of the Alligator?

This show is in no way associated with Mary Kay, Cutco Knives, or your aunt who sells Amway. Any similarities are purely satirical.
