The Udmurts

Back Door Theater
4319 SE Hawthorne Portland

When Nate's parents toss him out, he finds his way to the ramshackle Queens apartment of Mrs. Huff, an aging, once-glamorous actress from the land of Udmurtia, whose small home holds the secrets of a vanishing culture. When Nate meets Clem, whose wealthy family offers him a ladder out of poverty, Nate is torn between love and a life of leisure. Dark, funny and suspenseful, The Udmurts explores how we find home and hope in a collapsing world. Catch the production at the Back Door Theatre in Portland.
