Mt. Hood Community College Theatre

Jessica Wallenfels, theatre instructor and friend to MHCC Theatre, is producing this event: Check it out!

The Hatchery is a revolutionary annual new works festival supporting the creation of music and movement-centered theater. This year's festival features two new works: WHY and HOW Are Not in the Picture by Monique Holt is performed entirely in American Sign Language with multi-sensory elements for hearing and d/Deaf audiences; La Mariposa is a solo devised work performed by Sofia Marks with Isabel McTighe about a girl’s quest to remember her name and reconnect with her deities through Aztec mourning rituals. The festival also includes a catered happy hour, a moderated panel on creating d/Deaf theater, and an all-bodies-welcome dance class. All events are entirely free of charge, so reservations are encouraged. Details and reservations here:
