Grand Concourse

Artists Repertory Theatre
1515 SW Morrison Portland

Grand Concourse is a compassionate play that speaks directly to our shared humanity. Shelley is a nun running a soup kitchen in the Bronx with an iron spoon. Along the way, she's begun to question both her faith and her work. Her world is rocked when a rainbow-haired college drop-out comes to join her volunteer staff. The girl's enthusiasm and erratic behavior will change the course of all their lives. With touching humor, this motley kitchen crew unravels the intricacies of need, the vagaries of compassion and the limits of forgiveness. Penned by writer and Obie-winning actress Heidi Schreck (Nurse Jackie), Grand Concourse makes its West Coast premiere at Portland's Morrison Stage.
