Tim Matheson- “Damn Glad to Meet You” Live
Have you ever kissed Steven Spielberg’s wife? Has Rob Lowe ever stolen your nanny? Have you ever been asked for an autograph while scattering your father’s ashes? Tim Matheson takes to the stage to share his stories and experiences from his extraordinary life—both in front of and behind the camera. Stamping popular culture since high school as the voice of Jonny Quest, into adulthood as Animal House’s iconic “Otter,” to the vilified Vice President Hoynes in The West Wing—Tim has been a part of dozens of projects that have shaped our collective consciousness. The actor of Fletch, Buried Alive, Bonanza, Up The Creek, and Virgin River is no stranger to kissing other people’s wives (professionally, of course) or to having his ass kicked the night before filming Animal House in a real-life fraternity brawl. Join Tim for an evening of tales that will make you laugh, shared from a lifetime of experiences working with true greats like Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Lucille Ball, and Anne Bancroft, to John Belushi, Chris Farley, Reba McEntire, Jane Seymour, Steven Spielberg, and Aaron Sorkin. This evening will be filled with rarely seen photographs and videos from Tim’s personal collection, as well as a Q&A session at the end. Tim Matheson-“Damn Glad to Meet You” Live is a once-in-a-lifetime experience with one of film and television’s most accomplished artists—don’t miss out!

The Nitemare B4 Xmas with special guest Mark Growden
“ALL TOGETHER, THAT AND THIS, WITH ALL OUR TRICKS, WE’RE MAKING CHRISTMAS TIME!”We’re back with The Saloon Ensemble‘s epic ALL AGES production of “The Nitemare B4 Xmas!!!!” featuring Kylee Wegner as Jack, Patrica Charms as Sally, Jason Wells as The Mayor, Noah Vail as Oogie Boogie, Dan Stauffer as Dr. F, Phil Sano as Sandy Claws, Richard Cawley, Iris Asher, and Stacey Ludlow as Lock, Shock, and Barrel, Julia Andalora as Zero, plus Jon Vancura on sax, Mike Danner on accordion, Jeremy Baron on mandolin, and Joe Hagel on drums. Portland’s legendary performance troupe The Saloon Ensemble will once again bring to the stage a live performance of the brilliant score complete with interactive SING-A-LONGS, a COSTUME CONTEST, everyone’s favorite SCREAMING CONTEST and many other ‘horrible’ surprises! Celebrate the Halloween season with our annual production that’s been packing houses and delivering joyous fun for all spirits, young and old.This year we’re doing 4 shows. Friday and Saturday nights, and Saturday and Sunday matinees!”Saloon’s Nitemare is many kinds of show–a kid’s show, a variety show, a retelling of a seasonal myth, a big-band dance show, an enthusiastic singspiel–and there’s something timeless about that sort of despecialization; the production’s smattering of amateurish elements only added to that feeling. But that’s not to say that any of it was poorly performed–the show was grand, simply grand, and the band kicked ass…I hope this show runs for a century.” -Matthew Neil Andrews, Oregon Arts Watch (Read the whole review HERE) Mark Growden opens the show with a set of his unique and inspiring original music performed on accordion and bicycle handlebars.
