Last night was incredible. In. Cred. Ible. Here at the theater we hosted an Election viewing event that was open to the public. The event was organized and publicized by Reverend Renee who did a great job getting the local community to join us in what became a joyous occasion. As we watched the news that Barack Obama was projected to win, I turned around to see a little 82 year old black woman, Annie Caville, with tears streaming down her face. It was just the most amazing sight I have seen in a long time.
Kristian Foden-Vencil from OPB was there to capture the moment and he reported on it. You can read his more graceful account of the evening
here.
We also had some photographers from the Oregonian take some...photographs.
Thank you to everybody who came out to share this evening with us. We hope you'll come back to see a show soon!
