Waiting for Godot

Artists from four of Portland's theater companies are coming together to mount a fully staged production of Samuel Beckett's iconic Waiting for Godot as a fundraiser for The Canon Shakespeare Company. A 'tragicomedy' and an icon of the absurdist theater movement, Waiting for Godot has famously been described as “the play about nothing.” Published in 1954, it remains one of Beckett's best-known works. Ira Kortum of The Canon Shakespeare Company and Paul Roder of Twilight Theatre Company perform as Estragon and Vladimir. Alacias Enger of Third Eye Theater directs.
