Five Lesbian Brothers' The Secretaries

Just in time for Pride, PROFILE THEATRE presents a rare staging of the outrageous comedy The Secretaries by The Five Lesbian Brothers, the performance collective co-founded in the late-1980s by Pulitzer and Tony-winning playwright Lisa Kron. First performed in 1994, the play lampoons the style of the “slasher flick” to comment on the violence of internalized misogyny and homophobia. Twenty-four years later, The Secretaries' fake blood and bawdy stereotypes delivers timely insights into the grotesquery of sexual politics in the workplace. The Profile Theatre production features an all-female cast including some of Portland’s most gifted comedic actors.
