The company has made changes, of course, with social distancing and capacity limitations. We have a safe space that we can be in and still create in with people taking risks to be near each other, said Megan Skye Hale, the artistic director, who has partnered with Myrrh Larsen, creative director, for about six years on shows. We re having small shows already, up to 10 people in the shows, and it s easier to cut that down.

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt on Sat., Jan 15, 2021. Schmidt, 39, campaigned as a reformer and won 77% of the vote. His approach to protest-related arrests has won praise and encountered resistance. “You re not damaging anything, you re not lighting things on fire, then you re not the person we re going to prosecute,” he said. “There is no public safety value to prosecuting that person because a year-and-a-half from now when it actually goes to trial, even if we convicted you, what good did we do?
