From sold-out shows in Eugene comes SHORTCUTERIE, a night of wild short films snatched from national (and international!) film fests, emphasizing up-and-coming, off-the-wall auteurs. Turtlenecked local filmmakers Michael Angier and Rince Turrell II Jr. serve up the films in five enticing categories.

Entry is free, donations open. Berets and other snooty accoutrement are highly encouraged.

Journey back to the vibrant world of 1950s New York with a Golden Age Broadway classic. This 1951 Tony award-winning musical follows the intertwining lives of ambitious gamblers, lovestruck showgirls, and pious missionaries. At the center of the action is a pair of crafty and endearing hustlers. Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson will bet on just about anything, from a small-time strudel contest to a big-time gamble about love. Sky attempts to woo the strait-laced Sarah Brown, as the colorful characters around them navigate their own romantic entanglements. With toe-tapping songs like “Luck Be a Lady” and “Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat, Guys and Dolls will dazzle you with its high-stakes blend of humor and heart.

Based on John O'Hara's 1940 epistolary novel of the same name (who also wrote the show's libretto), Richard Rodgers & Lorenz Hart's Pal Joey tells the story of a small time nightclub emcee...a slice of low-life Chicago in the 1940s set to some of the best songs of the decade, headed up by "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered" and "I Could Write A Book" and including such intriguing specialty numbers as "Zip".

Joey is an opportunistic cad, but he always seems to land on his feet. He elbows his way into a job at a seedy Chicago nightclub and is soon juggling the affections of a naïve chorus girl and a wealthy society dame who just happens to be married. Once Joey has charmed the socialite into setting him up in his own joint, he ditches the chorine and is riding high, playing the big-time operator. When a punk threatens to spill the whole business to the socialite's husband, she decides that she's bored with Joey anyway, dumping him and the club. Having had a taste of his own medicine, you'd think Joey would head back to the sweet kid who really loves him. Wrong. Some things never change, but you know what? He's still on his feet.

Set sail for laughter and adventure with Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved comic opera! The Pirates of Penzance tells the hilarious tale of Frederic, a young pirate apprentice torn between duty and love, and the band of tender-hearted pirates who raised him. Packed with catchy tunes, clever wordplay, and absurd twists, this classic operetta is perfect for all ages. Don’t miss this swashbuckling romp full of romance, mistaken identities, and uproarious fun!

This lively production features some of the most iconic songs in operetta history, including “I Am the Pirate King”, “Poor Wand’ring One”, “With Cat-Like Tread” and the tongue-twisting “I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General.”

Eugene Opera brings back rising star Véronique Filloux as Mabel — the much-admired soprano who wowed audiences as Gilda in Rigoletto. Expert character actor David Macaluso, a member of the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players, will portray Major General Stanley with international opera singer and Grammy award winner Victoria Livengood as Ruth. Local favorite Bill Hulings will swashbuckle his way through the role of the Pirate King, bringing charm and charisma to every scene.

Directed by Curt Olds and conducted by Andrew Bisantz, this joyful production also features the Eugene Opera Chorus and the Eugene Opera Orchestra.
