Portland Playhouse stages work centering intergenerational experiences of Black women artists

Portland Playhouse in Northeast Portland is currently performing "Angry, Raucous, and Shamelessly Gorgeous." The play follows four Black women artists as they confront their own and each other’s evolving definitions of art, protest, and storytelling.

Audiences have until March 15 to see performances by Faith Lavon and Ashlee Radney, who play actors of different generations. They join us to discuss the production and its relevance today.

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
