Bike Me To The Moon

For the 9th year in a row, the Working Theatre Collective hosts the one and only Bike Play! This annual ride takes Portland cyclists, young and old, on a one-of-a-kind theater experience in which an entire PLAY is performed in site specific locations in one of Portland’s unique neighborhoods. This year’s ride will be taking place in inner NE Portland’s Kerns neighborhood. Join us as we take inspiration from classic literary stories such as “20,000 Leagues under the Sea” and “Around the World in 80 Days” to tell the tale of the first humans ever to blast a bicycle to the moon!

Join director Tara Coen and the cast of Jenny Bunce, Noelle Eaton, Hans Ellis, Kristopher Mahoney-Watson, Yohhei Sato, and Diana Schultz as they match wits with mob bosses, groovy musicians, and everyone in between in their quest to get back to the ‘burbs!

Bike Play 6: Bike Play’s Big Adventure!

June 19-22nd

Thursday-Saturday at 7pm, Sunday at 3

Peninsula Park

 

The Working Theatre Collective is proud to present a play about a protagonist and their bike — together for the first time in their (6th) big adventure! When our hero has their beloved bike stolen, they set out across North Portland to get it back and find themselves on the ride of the summer! 

 

For the 6th installment of the Working Theatre Collective’s wildly popular play by/on bicycle, we decided to give a nod to one of the greatest bicycle films of all time: Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. Loosely inspired/informed by the cult classic tale of bicycle theft we encourage audiences to ride to, through, and alongside this summer-evening (and one afternoon!) adventure as it tells its story across a series of locations.

 

Bring your helmet and be prepared for some james bond kinda stuff.
