Performed Aug. 8th through Aug. 16th, 2025 at the MuCCC.
Three stories cross outside of Portland, OR in a pitch-black comedy featuring an illicit affair, a couple hanging on by a thread, bears at the window, the worst curiosity shop on the West Coast, and an adorable missing dog named Mr Bundles. No one’s happy, people stop being nice and blood spills. This mash up of myth, missing empathy and “good neighbors” explores what happens when the mercury rises.
