Antonio Sacre

Bill O'Reilly calls him a sexual extremist, and Dennis Miller wants to punch him in the nose. Portland Story Theater is pround to present solo performer and Two time Best in Fringe Festival winner at the New York International Fringe Theater Festival, Antonio Sacre, who brings us Burning Feathers, a 60 minute solo performance piece developed with renowned Chicago director Jim Lasko.

In Burning Feathers, Sacre blends personal narrative, ancient myth, and modern verse into a blisteringly funny and moving exploration of love and its aftermath. What would you do if the love of your life appeared at the wrong time? And what if they were on the brink of celebrity? Soulmates with only five problems - family, finances, faith, friends, and fun - no problem, right? Come and find out the answer to how to fall in love and survive.
