SHOW POSTPONED

NOTE: Due to a surprisingly large number of performers & staff being ill and the forecast of a snow storm the evening of the show, 7 Deadly Sins has decided to postpone our December 22nd Saturnalia: Pantheon show until after the new year. If you had purchased tickets, you should soon be receiving a refund through Cascadia Ticketing.

We were very excited about the artists slated for this year’s Saturnalia show, so in the coming weeks we will be working with McMenamins Mission Theater and all of the artists to find a date that can include the exact same lineup. 

We will make tickets available to everyone who had already purchased tickets one week before we officially announce the new date to the general public to ensure those folks have first shot at VIP and General Admission tickets before they sell out.

We will announce the new date shortly. Until then, we wish you all a delightfully sinful holiday season.

- 7 Deadly Sins

Celebrate the solstice with us this Thursday, December 22nd at the Mission Theater as Portland’s most sinful storytelling series returns with an exploration of history’s most sinful, fickle, and human characters: the Gods.

Saturnalia: Pantheon features eleven of the Pacific Northwest's premier artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, comedians, poets, performance artists, and storytellers telling true stories in their own medium — each based on one of the Gods and Goddesses of myth and ancient religion. 

A follow up to our critically acclaimed show 7 Deadly Sins: Saturnalia, and Saturnalia II: 10 Commandments, this show promises to be equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, beautiful, and — ultimately — inspiring.

Featuring performances by The Moth host and performance artist Andrew Dickson, creator and host of The People’s Poets Brianna Grisby, singer, songwriter, and Lenore alum Joy Pearson, improv group and creators of Whatchu Wanna Know Broke Gravy, comedian, filmmaker, and Live Wire alum Jason Rouse, Comedy Sportz champ and director of Every Little Thing Leann Ruth Johnson, Twenty Acres author Sarah Neidhardt,  PDX storyteller extraordinaire Pat McCreery, and more. With original music scored by the award-winning composer and orchestrator for The Dandy Warhols with the Oregon Symphony and Zola Jesus Quintets Louise Woodward.

Join us for a night of tales of the things that go bump in the night, as five renowned storytellers, writers, comics, musicians, and other artists tell true tales of being haunted by the dead — both metaphorically and literally.

Featuring five new 100% true tales that explore how to best deal with an actual haunted house; seances got wild; the evil that is high school; the most terrifying tattoo ever; and the realization that the ghost that's been haunting you is actually you.

With stories by country western raconteur Nikole Potulsky, producer and comic Carlos Kareem Windham, professional witch Jenna Bowers, J Names improv-er Jenn Hunter Tindle, and writer-slash-Slug Queen Constance Van Flandern, and music by Megan Diana and her band. 

Best of all, all proceeds for this show will go to support to help the nonprofit Our School and their mission to provide support and resources to LGBTQ+ kids and their families in those states where LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist learning spaces and resources for students, educators, and parents aren't viable.

Plus live music, games, pizza, and enough McMenamins adult beverages to make you go out and make your own haunting story of sin.

ROUGH DRAFT takes audiences behind the scenes - and possibly onto the stage - of a live storytelling show. We’ll take volunteers from the audience who have a story they'd like to tell, and together with our audience & panel of celebrity coaches we'll shape that story into a work of art.

7 Deadly Sins bring you five true tales of ordinary people facing new terrain without a map.

Featuring stories about choosing to be the stranger that battles oppression with love; the best ways to survive Stockholm Syndrome; the risks of being deported from your country of origin; the surprisingly large chasm that separates those who live on land to those who live under water; and and what it means when everything and everyone you’ve ever known becomes foreign to you in the blink of an eye.

Join us on April 16th at the Portland Center Stage Armory as we officially kick off our fourth season with our first MainStage show of 2019, 7 Deadly Sins: Stranger In A Strange Land.

Featuring new stories by Reema Zaman, Samira Sahebi, Robbie Parker, Jeremy Lucas, Brian Ellis, and more. With original music scored for the show, composed and performed by Louise Woodward.

Best of all: proceeds for this show will go to support Kenton Women’s Village, the creative, collaborative project that helps Portland’s most at-risk women by offering a new potential approach for addressing houselessness at a small scale.

7 Deadly Sins is proud to present the launch of its new 7DS: Voicesseries with the world premier of Andrew Dickson's Kids These Days at Portland’s historic Mission Theater.

Kids These Daysis part storytelling, part comedic monologue, and part TED Talk about how much and fast the world has changed, how awful and amazing it is to be a parent, and the generational politics of baby boomers, generation X and Y, millennials, and whatever kids younger who were born a few years ago are going to be called. 

For example, Andrew will perform his ABC book, written for the world kids are going to inherit. ("A is for Apple. They make the bright, colorful devices we pay attention to instead of you.") And he’ll present his list of things he didn’t know about until he was an adult that his kids experienced by the time they were 5 (from pho, dim sum, and sushi, to a black president). 

The show will feel a bit like a full-length comedy stand-up special, weaving together a dozen or so stories, lists, rants, and audience participation that all relate to the above themes of change, technology, kids, parenthood, childhood and adulthood.

Oh, and PowerPoint. There will also be PowerPoint.

We expect this show to sell out before day of event, so get your tickets today.
