The Spitfire Grill

Music and Book by James Valcq

Lyrics and Book by Fred Alley

Based on the film by David Zlotoff

Upon finishing a five-year jail sentence, Perchance “Percy” Talbott heads to Gilead, a Wisconsin town whose beautiful natural surroundings she found a photograph of in a donated travel book. In the economically depressed town, Percy finds work at the Spitfire Grill, run by the tough and bitter Hannah Ferguson, who has been trying to sell the Spitfire Grill and start over. When Percy comes up with the idea of having a nationwide raffle and essay contest to find a new proprietor, she and the town learn that, in order to have a brighter future, one must first move on from the past.

The story of “The Spitfire Grill” has drawn widespread praise for its heartening take on the human spirit and its beautifully crafted score.

Comedy Night at The Bingen

THINGS I HIDE FROM DAD

A multi-sensory storytelling show

Recommended 18+

A One-Man Show by Travis Abels

Award-winning storyteller and comedian Travis Abels brings you an unforgettable solo performance that’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt. In Things I Hide From Dad, Travis takes audiences on a deeply personal, and wildly entertaining, journey through his childhood as a preacher’s son in a doomsday church, where even his thoughts about sex felt like they could end the world.

Told with wit, warmth, and immersive sound design (all triggered live on stage), this 75-minute rollercoaster of memory dives into growing up in a world where shame was sacred, rebellion was silent, and Kenny G was the soundtrack to everything.

Voted a Fringe Festival Favorite and hailed as a “multi-sensory masterclass,” Things I Hide From Dad combines stand-up, storytelling, and theater into a uniquely raw, funny, and moving experience. It’s a coming-of-age story for anyone who’s ever felt like the weird kid, the black sheep, or the one who just didn’t quite fit in.

An Evening Featuring the Music and Lyrics of Stephen Sondheim

Stephen Sondheim redefined musical theatre -

one complex character, one unforgettable lyric at a time.
Three celebrated Portland performers—Merideth Kaye Clark, Susannah Mars, and Stephanie Lynne Smith—honor his legacy with an evening of wit, warmth, and musical brilliance.

 This is Sondheim as it should be: intimate, insightful, and full of heart.
