Did our very own Phillip J. Berns create a BA new graphic for us just in time for the weekend?… Yes, he did! Are we giddy to share it with y’all?… Yes, we are!
And speaking of giddy, that’s also how we of the BP are feeling about our semi-staged reading of THE LAST DAYS, by Carlos Cisco, at Fuse Theatre Ensemble this Sunday, 6pm!!
-And this just in 🚨: in addition to showing up & showing out for us, and our Fam at Fuse, we also hope that you’ll help us raise awareness & funds for BASIC RIGHTS OREGON🌈💫🩷

Hope to see YOU at the cabin, at the edge of existence… 🎭🧟‍♂️🔥 ~We of the BP.
❤️‍🔥The Bar(d) Party remains humbly & enthusiastically sponsored by the ever-effervescent Ronni Lacroute!!❤️‍🔥

🌈New week = new manifesting, so let’s get TO IT, Fam:
✨
The Bar(d) Party and Fuse Theatre Ensemble have joined forces to bring you a bit of horror for the holidays!
For one night only, ensemble members of The Bar(d) Party will perform a semi-staged reading of Carlos Cisco's biting, fast-paced zombie apocalypse thriller/ dark comedy, THE LAST DAYS (last seen in PDX as a full production at Post5 Theatre Co in fall ‘13)!
-The play zooms in on four individuals who have isolated themselves from the horde of ravenous undead in an abandoned cabin outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and have established some small sense of normalcy for themselves. But when an unexpected tragedy strikes the household and tensions among them rapidly mount, they find themselves battling not only each other, but the existential shakedown that comes with the question: "At the edge of existence, where does the human end... and the monster begin?"
🎭
Come witness THE LAST DAYS by Carlos Cisco!
-Sunday, 11/24, at 6pm (doors open around 530pm)
-As always, tickets are "GAYAF" (give as you're able, friends!)
-Recommended for audience members ages 16+ due to adult themes and content

🔥Alright PDX Fam,
It’s time to let it be known:
The BARD PARTY is back in action later this month!!
It’s been quite a few hawt minutes since we’ve gathered in a room with our hometown crowd, but the time is NIGH, and we’re PUMPED to be bringing something a bit different to you…
A semi-staged reading of 🩸THE LAST DAYS🩸by Carlos Cisco — our favorite zombie apocalypse thriller play!🔥
-This play was performed as a full production by Post5 Theatre in the fall of 2013, and we figured that 11 years later, it was high time to give more of our community members a taste of this gruesome, high octane & darkly witty piece of Theatre — which also serves to illuminate both BIPOC & Q***r voices/ characters!
-This more stripped-down, quick-fire & communal telling of this tale will be taking place at Fuse Theatre Ensemble on Sunday, 11/24 @ 6pm. Doors @ 530pm, and the Bar will be OPEN throughout, in true Bard Party form!! And, in true FUSE form, tickets to the show will be “GAYAF” (give as you’re able, friends)! Let’s - effing - GO.
-And because we of the BP never party without giving back, there will also be a TBA cause, non-profit, or charity that we’ll be raising awareness & funds for! So bring your ducats, your fiery heart, your gift of spirit & your sense of PLAY! And please tip your bartender 😉
~Let’s Party. Let’s Give Back.~
Thank you to FUSE for hosting us!
Thank you to Rusty for saying Yes!
And thank YOU for bringing thyself to it!
