Friday, May 3

Humboldt is no stranger to masked theatre. So this shouldn’t freak you out.

This Thursday and Friday at the Arcata Playhouse, PDX theatre troupe Wonderheads — made up of Dell’Arte alum Kate Braidwood and Andrew Phoenix — return to the North Coast with their giant-headed production Loon. Wonderheads wisely promote themselves with the tagline “live action Pixar” (did you hear that, parents?) and you can see why in Loon‘s video trailer below. 

Then again, if masks terrify you there are plenty of other options for you farther down in Friday’s Lowdown.
