R. Buckminster Fuller: The History [and Mystery] of the Universe will be appearing and Portland Center Stage from October 14 – December 7, 2008:
An engineer, architect, mathematician, designer, poet, philosopher, motivational speaker, major utopian thinker and inventor of the geodesic dome, Buckminster Fuller was one of the most remarkable minds of the 20th century. Born in 1895, Bucky was way ahead of his time. Refusing to think in conventional ways, he was an innovator, a futurist, and one of the first true global thinkers. This tour-de-force, one-man performance explores Bucky’s life and work through a blend of testimony, lecture, autobiography, poetry, comic antics and video imagery. The play spirals and spins through ideas and experiences as Bucky escorts you on an unforgettable journey.

Thanks for the plug, Trevor. Sorry it took me so long to find out about it. I love the fun and quirky energy of that trailer. Just met with the playwright this week about ways to reach unique audiences with this show, and this is a great example. See you in the Ellyn Bye Studio (PCS’ downstairs venue at the Gerding Theater at the Armory) in October!
