Don’t miss your chance to see The Addams Family like never before. With a story full of twisted humor, heart, and ghoulish delight, this production is a must-see for all ages! Krayon Kids Musical Theatre Company brings the kooky and spooky world of The Addams Family to life this Fall! Featuring 40+ talented young performers from across Clackamas, Washington, and Multnomah counties, this show promises a fun-filled, high-energy performance with breathtaking costumes, spellbinding choreography, and a set to die for that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
The Addams Family is a musical comedy packed with dark humor and heartfelt moments. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate queen of darkness, has fallen head over heels for a sweet, smart boy from a perfectly “normal” family. As her affection grows, chaos creeps in—especially when she confides in her father, Gomez, and begs him to keep her secret from Morticia. Torn between his daughter and his wife, Gomez is trapped in a web of love and lies. Meanwhile, Pugsley plots, Grandma meddles, and Uncle Fester discovers a peculiar love of his own.
Everything comes to a head on one fateful, delightfully dreadful night, when the Addams family hosts a dinner to meet Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his buttoned-up family. What could possibly go wrong?
“With a talented cast, incredible choreography, and a set design that will transport you straight into the Addams’ world, this show will be an experience you won’t forget,” says Taylor Miller, Artistic Director of Krayon Kids.
Tickets Available: September 5th at KrayonKids.org

Anne Washburn’s imaginative dark comedy – a play with music featuring songs by Washburn and Michael Friedman – propels us forward nearly a century, following a new civilization stumbling into its future.
After the collapse of civilization, a group of survivors share a campfire and begin to piece together the plot of The Simpsons episode “Cape Feare” entirely from memory. Seven years later, this and other snippets of pop culture (sitcom plots, commercials, jingles and pop songs) have become the live entertainment of a post-apocalyptic society, sincerely trying to hold onto its past. Seventy-five years later, these are the myths and legends from which new forms of performance are created.
A paean to live theater, and the resilience of Bart Simpson through the ages, Mr. Burns is an animated exploration of how the pop culture of one era might evolve into the mythology of another.

Miracle On 34th Street
2025-11-21 19:30 - 22:00, 2025-11-20 19:30 - 22:00 | Lakewood Center for the Arts, 368 S. State Street, Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
Set in New York City, Miracle on 34th Street, the play is a heartwarming holiday classic that follows the journey of Kris Kringle (Robert Lovitz), an older man released from a retirement home, who gets a job working as Santa Claus for Macy’s holiday season.
Doris Walker (Ariel Puls), a single mother who works at the same Macy’s, doesn’t want her daughter, Susan (Georgia Krugel), to believe in any romantic notions about Santa. Complications arise when neighbor and lawyer Fred Gayley (Conor Eifler) tries to win Doris over by taking Susan to see Santa Claus. Young Susan is enchanted by the experience, but Doris remains doubtful. Kris surprises both customers and employees by claiming he truly is Santa Claus and begins directing parents to other stores to find the specific toy their child wants.
Seen as deluded and dangerous by Sawyer (Jacob Bean-Watson), Macy’s vocational counselor, Kris faces a court hearing overseen by Judge Harper (Mark Schwahn) to verify the validity of his claim and, more importantly, his authenticity. But what is truly at stake is one little girl’s belief in Santa and her mother’s willingness to give love another chance.

Author Presentation: Dr. Robert Macauley
2025-11-18 19:00 - 20:00 | Lake Theater & Cafe, 106 N State St, Lake Oswego, OR, 97034, United States
Author Presentation: Dr. Robert Macauley
Tuesday, November 18, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
Lake Theater & Cafe, 106 N. State Street
Please join us for a presentation of Because I Knew You: How Some Remarkable Sick Kids Healed a Doctor’s Soul with Dr. Robert Macauley.
Most people associate palliative care with hospice and the end of life, and when they imagine a patient receiving palliative care they think of an older adult. In truth, palliative care is more about living than dying, and – while no children should ever suffer and certainly shouldn’t die – over 40,000 children die each year in the United States. An additional half million children live with a “complex chronic condition,” which can benefit profoundly from high quality palliative care. Because I Knew You is a memoir that is the first book to tell the stories of children receiving palliative care, in the mold of recent powerful memoirs that describe the care of adults at the end of life (such as That Good Night by Sunita Puri).
Dr. Robert Macauley is the Cambia Health Foundation Endowed Chair in Pediatric Palliative Care at OHSU. Dr. Macauley received his medical degree (as well as a master of divinity) from Yale. He holds graduate degrees in theology from Oxford and writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts, and is also an Episcopal priest. His comprehensive textbook, Ethics in Palliative Care: A Complete Guide was published by Oxford University Press in 2018. He has long been active in Lake Oswego Girls Softball Little League, coaching his daughter for several seasons and currently serving on the Board of Directors.
This program is supported by the Friends of the Lake Oswego Public Library and offered by Lake Oswego Public Library in cooperation with the Lake Theater & Cafe. Admission is free and no ticket is required (though food and drink purchases are encouraged to offset the cost to the Lake Theater). Doors open at 6:30pm, the presentation begins at 7:00pm.
Lake Theater & Cafe is located at 106 North State Street in Lake Oswego. For more information, contact Alicia Yokoyama at ayokoyama@lakeoswego.city or 503-534-4228.
