Our History

Four For Fall

 . . . Till now I never knew thee!
                                         -Henry VIII

How well do you think you know your partner? Do you really know the depths of their resolve when it comes to the most important thing of all?

Anything is possible amongst these four late works from Shakespeare: Love. Passion. Jealousy. Betrayal. Marriages sundered, friends banished, and murderers hired. Thrones disinherited, armies marshaled, kingdoms cracked, empires dissolved . . . and that’s just in the first act!

As a fund-raiser in anticipation of the  2011 season PAE presents four staged-readings of Shakespeare’s later works at the Fine Arts Building on the Concordia University campus (NE 27th Ave. & NE Highland St., Portland).

Cost: $15 a person or $40 for three tickets
 (for any combination of people or shows)! 

Henry VIII is "Pay What You Will" for both dates!

Children and Students are FREE for all readings!
