Dinosaurs take over OMSI
The exhibit of animatronics, skeletons, fossils and more opens March 20; so, stay away COVID
Will it be third time s the charm for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry?
Not unlike what has happened with other museums and public attractions, OMSI opened two exhibits in the past year and had to shut down each of them because of the COVID-19 pandemic and government restrictions Body Worlds lasted a week, and then a while more after reopening, and Genghis Khan only two weeks.
Now, the museum is planning Dinosaurs Revealed, March 20 through Sept. 6. It s a big, new exhibit with 26 animatronic dinosaurs, skeletons and fossils, and you can time-travel in the form of designated environments and presentations for the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
February 08 2021 A Long Distance Affair
Tracy Francis of Boom Arts and local actor Barbie Wu are involved in A Long Distance Affair, a Zoom immersive play as part of a series that started before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through 10-minute plays, held Feb. 11-21, the audience learns about people from around the world; the latest version features 18 artists from Portland, Beirut (Lebanon), Lagos (Nigeria), Mumbai (India), Los Angeles and Mexico City.
It s produced by Juggerknot Theatre Company ( Miami Motel Stories ) and PopUp Theatrics.
Francis directs the Beirut play, about a dance class and connection, and the Portland play, which fittingly is a sci-fi piece about protest and unrest and a woman stuck in a time loop (in which the old version kills the young version).
