Here’s what you can do to help put Willamette STAGE Company on the map:
STAGE U Studio

Honour
by Joanna Murray-Smith
Northwest Premiere
Winner of Australia’s Southbank Pacific Prize for Drama
directed by STAGE Associate Artistic Director Brian Newberg
with Barbara Berge, Kimberly Gifford, Robert Hirsh, and Mandie Shattuck
Honour is a touching tale of what happens when a man elects to defy mortality. Honor, a once a heralded young poet, gave up her career to support that of her husband, George, and to raise their daughter, Sophie. The couple has been married for thirty-two years, and George is now a renowned intellectual, journalist, and TV interviewer. Honor has led a life of ease, privilege, and fulfillment, and bears no grudge. But now, she is startled into re-examining everything.
