Kiss & Tell
Valentine's Day Show

Award-winning PBS writer Slash Coleman will join Portland Story Theater for the exclusive Valentine's Day premiere of Kiss and Tell. The 120-minute production will take place at The Alberta Rose Theatre on February 14, 2012 at 8:00 pm.

"We created this show as an alternative to the usual yawn-yawn options that plague Valentine's Day," says Vagabond Opera creator and event emcee Eric Stern. "Dropping a bundle on an overpriced meal and a bad movie is so 2011."

"Anything that's got tales of broken hearts, misplaced affections and an Orgasm Choir is going to be kind of hard to top," says Puppeteer Penny Walter, a regular at Emanuel Children's Hospital who is celebrating her 10th anniversary as a professional puppeteer. She will be performing alongside Portland Story Theater founders Lawrence Howard and Lynne Duddy.

Kiss and Tell will take place on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 8:00 pm. Alberta Rose Theater which is located at 3000 Northeast Alberta Street Portland, OR 97211.

Portlanders are passionate about stories. And live theater, and shared experiences. Portland Story Theater shares this passion. We use a unique collaborative approach to produce shows where people perform stories drawn from real-life experiences. We also offer workshops and one-on-one coaching for people who want to learn how to tell personal narratives.

All around the country we've all seen that there's a new breed of literary event cropping up and Portland is no exception. Portland Story Theater has been leading the way to create a unique fusion of wit and bare-bone emotion expressed on stage. These performances bring urban culture to life but they are a world away from the strait-laced book reading. The space is intimate, relaxed and invites the interactive ethos of an evening at an open mic. It's a new breed of literary event.

Portland Story Theater is driven by our core values: We are stewards of the oral tradition and authentic performances, we are catalysts for community relationships and alliances, and we are advocates for diverse narrative artists and the loyal audience that supports our work.

Portland Story Theater offers six programs to promote the narrative arts. Find out more About Portland Story Theater.
