CoHo Productions, Fall Guy Theatre, Profile Theatre, and the Bluestockings all have either Valentine’s Day specials tonight, or do sliding-scale/cheap tickets on Thursdays anyway. I have seen none of these shows, but if pressed I’d say that Tales of Ordinary Madness at the CoHo would be my first pick. On paper, Fall Guy’s Big Rock Show sounds sort of… awful, but based on the strength of their recent production of The House Yes, I’m inclined to give that one a chance as well. (Plus, admission gets you drink discounts at the Aalto before the show. I like that.) As for the others: Our critic did not much care for Profile’s A Few Stout Individuals; and I know next to nothing about the Bluestockings show Dead of Winter save that it’s a couple of short ghost stories, it sounds pretty decent, and Followspot liked it. I’ll post all the show details after the jump.

Tales of Ordinary Madness, Coho Productions

Don't have a clue what to do for Valentines Day? Have you waited
until the last minute to get that special someone a gift or night out
on the town? Why not bring her/him to the show that the Oregonian
calls "a gem of audacious absurdism" Tales of Ordinary Madness at The
CoHo Theater. In fact bring her/him to the show this Thursday,
Valentines Day only and get in for $15.00 per ticket. That is $8.00
off the regular ticket price. Call CoHo Productions and give the
pass-phrase:
"I am all about Eve" and receive tickets for Thursday, February 14
showing of Tales of Ordinary Madness for only $15.00 per ticket.
Don't wait call now. The box office is open Monday-Friday from 1pm-
5pm or you can leave a message after hours with the pass-phrase in
your message and Faith will call you back.

Dead of Winter , the Bluestockings

Reminder: Thursdays for "Dead of Winter" at Performance Works Northwest are sliding scale/pay what you will. So if you want to spend a little "different" Valentines Day (and save a few bucks), please come check out our trio of ghost stories, co-produced by The Bluestockings and Pavement Productions. Showtimes are at 8:00, doors open at 7:30; call 503-777-2771 for reservations. Friday and Saturdays are $12 at the door, $10 with an advance purchase at http://theblustockings.com and $10 for students and seniors. Don't have plans for Valentine's Day?

The Big Rock Show, Fall Guy Theatre

Have plans, but aren't looking forward to them?

Flat broke?

Well, Fall Guy Theatre has the answer for you!

Pay-What-You-Will Valentine's Day Special

The Big Rock Show
starring Chicago's own Scotty Iseri, and Portland's own Joe Bolenbaugh

That's right, ladies and gents: This Thursday, instead of blowing
$200+ on chocolates and fancy dinners and champagne rooms, come spend
$5 for some wacky rock-n-roll high jinx!!

Come witness the show that Time Out Chicago calls, "The Lightning
Bolting-est rock parody around."

Songs about girls, songs about politics, songs about giant robots;
this show has something for everybody!! Give us a buck, give us a
bottle cap, we will let you in to the funnest show in town.

All the pertinent info is below. See you at the show!

XOXO,

Fall Guy Theatre

It's not theatre. It's rock-and-roll.

Okay, it's a little bit of both, but frankly, we're not sure quite how
to describe it.

It's The Big Rock Show, and it's come here to rock you!

Take punk-rock energy, political wise-cracking lyrics, special effects
a la Ed Wood, and the hottest sidekick since Jar Jar Binks and what
have you got? You've got Scotty Iseri and The Big Rock Show!! The
World's Smallest Stadium Rock Concert!

Straight from Chicago, singer/songwriter/sex machine Scotty Iseri
brings the greatest rock experience that has ever fit inside a beaten
up old backpack to its first extended Portland engagement. Did you see
him on his international tour last summer? Did you see him at Dante's
in '05 for his one-night-only engagement? Did you see his homemade
adult video on the Internet?

Well that was nothing folks, because THIS Big Rock Show features
all-new songs, a fresh-from-rehab Joe the Roadie (played by Portland
theatre ingenue Joe Bolenbaugh), and the first post-death performance
of Scotty's hit song "Jerry Falwell" on the Left Coast. THIS, my
friends, THIS is The Big Rock Show!

A Few Stout Individuals, Profile Theater
Profile Theatre offers 2-for-1 tickets to you and your Valentine for
tomorrow, February 14.

There are only four remaining performances of "A Few Stout Individuals", and
in celebration of Valentine's Day, admission for 2 adults is $24, for 2
Seniors is $20, and for 2 Students is only $12.

Of the show, The Oregonian says, "The Profile production has much to praise,
including a cast that is strong from top to bottom and a set and costumes
that aid unobtrusively in the separation and blending of the imaginary and
the real. Andersen manages to portrays a drugged, demented, mostly mute old
man while also conveying all that Grant was -- his strength and weakness,
success and failure, joy and pain."

Please call to make advance reservations: 503-242-0080.
