PENNY - Risk/Reward Festival DRIVE-In Movies


  • Oaks Amusement Park @ The Hanger 7805 Southeast Oaks Park Way Portland, OR, 97202 United States (map)

PENNY - THE CONDUIT (plays all 3 nights!)

JUNE 24-26th Portland, Oregon

RISK/REWARD > Info/Tickets (pay what you can!)


PENNY expresses our collective grief and despair, yet exemplifies the unquenchable hope that lies deeper in the human heart. Death, mourning, and healing are overt themes of this piece, as exemplified by Penny’s awkward yet earnest commitment to meditation, nature worship, and conversations with a radically different kind of deity.
