Galerie Théâtre Kaléidoscope will present THE OTHER ROOM and THE HISTORY OF THE ZOO

The Gallery Theater in McMinnville announces a Kaleidoscope production of two one-act plays, The Other Room and The Zoo Story, at the Gallery Theater June 21-23, 2024.

“The Other Room,” by Ariane Blayde, is directed by Soren Smithrud.

Austin is a brilliant teenage astronomer with autism. Lily is his popular classmate who is interested in astronomy. When a chance encounter after school leads to a growing bond between them, Austin’s imagination, intelligence, and constant struggles to connect with the world are revealed in the form of four characters representing his inner life. By turns funny and heartbreaking, The Other Room is a compelling and sensitive insight into a unique and misunderstood mind.

“The Zoo Story,” by Edward Albee, is directed by Emily Matsuda.

To escape his wife, two daughters and two parakeets, Peter sits on a bench in Central Park, reading and thinking. Jerry joins him, having just gone to the zoo. He reluctantly draws Peter into the conversation and extracts information from him. In return, Jerry provides Peter with a curious mix of information about his wanderings in New York. The outcome of the encounter is a voluntary death for one of them.

Show times: Friday 7:30 p.m., Saturday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 2 p.m.
