The Oregon Trail
Portland Center Stage
128 NW Eleventh Avenue Portland
"You have died of dysentery." For an entire generation raised on such rudimentary computer games as The Oregon Trail, this abrupt ending said it all. In this fresh and funny (and more adult) retelling of our nation's history, you'll experience a live re-creation of the classic game. "Now" Jane is playing the computer game in 1997, while "Then" Jane is in a covered wagon on the trail in 1848. A judgy game-show narrator, a domineering sister and two oxen try to corral the two Janes on their parallel journeys, but fate maneuvers them both to a conclusion that changes their lives and sends them to the end of the trail.
