ENTERTAINMENT. FOR. PEOPLE!!!!

Phew everyone. Did you have a good break? I know the Back Fence Babes had some quality time off. In that time, we schemed and plotted and planned for 2010.

Our first event this year is Entertainment for People. (To be said in ones head as ENTERTAINMENT. FOR. PEOPLE!!!! Don’t say it out loud that way, people will stare.)

Entertainment for People is our awesome variety show featuring sketch comedy, readings, live storytelling and music.

February 25th’s E4P (that’s the short-hand for those in the know) features Arthur Bradford presenting video and stories from his time as director of MTV’s How’s Your News, Ritchie Young from Loch Lomond and his brothers performing as Fourever Young, sketch comedy from Eastland Academy, live storytelling from Portland favorite Nathaniel Boggess and a gardening demo from Destination DIY diva Julie Sabatier and the good people of SCRAP.

BUY TICKETS NOW!

Tickets are $10 until mid-February when they go up to $12. They’re $14 at the door. So get ‘em now.

Entertainment for People is held at The Woods (6637 Milwaukie Avenue). Only the greatest event space on the east side of the Willamette. Word.

So, get tickets now!

Entertainment for People, February 25th at The Woods. Doors open at 7, show 8.
