NOT ANOTHER CHRISTMAS LETTER! is an original musical comedy unfolding in a series of comic and poignant vignettes with four actors bringing 46 characters to life celebrating everything that drives us crazy about Christmas . . . and why we love it anyway.

(Funhouse Lounge show dates:  December 8 & 15 @ 2:00pm)

Think of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change . . . for the holidays. From receiving that first obnoxious Christmas letter to taking the family picture, from dealing with in-laws, to facing unassembled gifts on Christmas Eve, Not Another Christmas Letter: The Musical! shows why sometimes we want to sing “Wreck the halls!” and then why we’re wistful when Christmas is over.

From the producer/director of last year’s hit, “Sweep the Leg” (Karate Kid: The Musical) comes a comedic stage adaptation of John Carpenter’s beloved horror/sci-fi classic “The Thing.”

When a group of scientists in Antarctica discovers a long-buried spaceship in the ice, they unearth a dangerous creature that threatens to destroy them, and potentially us all.

In this loving stage parody, we set out to, in equal parts, pay homage and satirize this iconic film. A cast of some of Portland’s best comedic character actors takes aim at the roles made famous by Keith David, Kurt Russell and Wilfred Brimley.

The Funhouse Lounge, known for its send-ups of classic 80s films undergoes a transformation of its own to create the perfect venue to stage the isolated Antarctic outpost and its dark, cavernous tunnels and rooms.

For die-hard “The Thing” fans and newcomers alike, John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” A Stage Parody reminds us all that “Man is the Warmest Place to Hide.”

Thursdays-Saturdays, November 1-17. All shows at 7:00 pm, doors at 6:30

Tickets are $18 online, $25 at the door. Reserved seating available online.

Get ready for a night of spooky, darkly funny, and villainous live performances with Portland’s Furriest Singers, as the BROADWAY BEARS, debut their new concert at the Funhouse Lounge on October 28, 2018, 7:00 pm!

Titled “STAGE FRIGHT 2: THE SHRIEKQUEL,” the BROADWAY BEARS will perform villain and horror-themed songs from the musical realm of stage and screen, from comedy to drama to dangerous, in their trademark entertaining way… complete with furry faces! And this time, they’ve got some special friends from Portland’s performing elite to get down with!

The BROADWAY BEARS, “Portland’s Furriest Singers,” are Andy Mangels, Darin MacLeod, Donnie Vecchione, and M. Stephen Bradley. For this special concert, special guests from Portland’s performing elite include burlesque queen Zora Phoenix, jazz diva Karen Maria Capo, musical theater superstar Deanna Maio, and bearded balladeers Bobby Jackson and Michael Chavez!

With all live singing in solos, duet, trio, and group numbers, the “STAGE FRIGHT 2: THE SHRIEKQUEL” concert will be a spooky performance that will leave you thrilled and chilled, and laughing and screaming. The two acts feature over 20 songs and medleys from stage productions and films such as Little Shop Of Horrors, The Addams Family, Les Miserables, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, Hocus Pocus, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Sweeney Todd, Wonderland, Hairspray, The Phantom Of The Opera, The Rocky Horror Show, Hamilton, Into The Woods, The Wiz, Heathers, Oliver!, Reefer Madness, Wicked, Disneyland, and many more!

The over-21 concert will be at Funhouse Lounge, on October 28, 2018, with doors at 6:30pm, show from 7-9pm. Tickets are $10 in advance from brownpapertickets.com or $15 at the door ($10 for seniors or students), with special reserved booth tickets also available. The first STAGE FRIGHT concert was in 2014, and this “Shriekquel” promises to surpass the recent sold out standing-room-only concert that the Broadway Bears performed at the Funhouse.

The members of the BROADWAY BEARS have decades of stage experience encompassing theatrical, choral, opera, television, film, and teaching arenas. BROADWAY BEARS was co-founded in mid-2011 by Andy Mangels, and the group has performed charitable concerts and at local events in 2012-2018, including a popular and bravura opening concert at the 20th anniversary of Peacock in the Park at Washington Park Amphitheatre.
