I Am An Actress (live stage)/Becoming Adorable (film)—Fuse Theatre—SE Portland








                                                                 Becoming Jane 

    This duel production is playing at the Backdoor Theatre space in the Common Grounds coffee house, 4319 SE Hawthorne Blvd. (former home of Defunkt Theatre), street parking only, so plan your time accordingly.  The play is directed by Sara Faye Goldman and features Jane Comer (who also wrote it). The film is conceived and presented by Jane Comer.  It runs through December 19th.  For more information, go to their site at www.fusetheatreensemble.com

    The mystery of why we become who we are is not so much whether Nature or Nurture is responsible, but what we do with what we’ve got.  Some, like Jane, know from the age of four that things got a little mixed up in God’s workshop, when it came to assigning her a gender, and so she had a long and arduous road of discovery ahead of her to finally find her true identity, a female, and her Passion, acting.

    But all roads to self-discovery are fraught with pitfalls and revelations.  My road began at ten years old, when I had my first conscious memories of a childhood.  The former years are a riddle, inside an enigma, wrapped in a Black Hole.  In other words, no clue!  And others that I’ve met and gotten to know, are as varied as the grains of sand upon the beach.  And so, my point is (and perhaps, in part, Jane’s, too) is that we all have our stories to tell, but if we really look hard at another, and are willing to walk in their shoes for a bit, we may find we are really not so different after all.  And ain’t it grand to see how many colors of the rainbow it takes to make its beauty…all vibrant…all necessary!

    Jane recounts, sometimes in painful memories, of her Mom’s upbringing (and hers, as well).  It’s not a pretty site but it forged a drive and passion within her to find a positive and constructive way of dealing with these issues and finding her way of exorcising these demons…as an actress.  First, in comedy, and now as an actress and writer…and a very good one, I might say!

    I have deliberately sluffed over the meat of her story because it really needs to be shared by Jane, and she is so natural onstage that you feel she is talking directly to you, as an old friend.  I hesitate to break that communication she has and so it must be shared by her and not through a third party.  It is also wise that Jane had the foresight to have another eye view her material, and herself, in the form of Goldman, who dos an expert job of honing all the pieces together like a home-made quilt.

    The film segment, in part two, has a movie critic, Amy Williams (Comer), of romantic comedies, giving her viewpoint of 4 episodes.  But don’t be fooled by this ruse, as the purpose of this piece comes closer to home than that.  I don’t want to give it away, so you’ll just have to see it to discover the true meaning.  But the entire project is written, produced, directed, edited and performed by Comer, which is quite a feat, but what else could you do, as an artist, during the isolated times of the dark days of Covid.  All very well done!

    I recommend this play/film.  If you do choose to see it, please tell them Dennis sent you.

    1. It’s obvious most people living with HERPES are been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary antibiotics medicine just to help suppress the virus only.
      I contacted the virus since 2020 until I was introduce by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Herpes after using DR ISHIAKU Herbal Medicine. I contacted him on WHAT-SAPP( +2348180828544) and explain to him and After he finish he sent me the herbs which i took for 2 weeks before asking me to go for a check up and getting there i could not believe that i was confirm HERPES Negative after the test, Today i am so happy because I'm free from herpes disease with the help of Dr. Ishiaku . All thanks to God for using this Him to heal me. i strongly recommend him to any one out here looking for a cure to herpes . Please fill free to share Your problems with him.

I was infected with HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS in 2011, I went to many hospitals to heal myself but there was no solution, so I was thinking how I can get a solution so that my body can be well. One day I was in the river thinking about where I can go to get a solution. so a lady walked towards me telling me why I'm so sad and I open everything by telling her my problem, she told me she could help me, she introduced me to a doctor who uses herbal medicines to cure the SIMPLEX HERPES VIRUS and gave me your email, so I sent you an email. He told me everything I had to do and also gave me instructions to take, which I followed correctly. Before I knew what was happening after two weeks, the SIMPLEX HERPES VIRUS that was in my body disappeared. therefore, if you also have a broken heart and need help, you can also send an email to {drpaulherbalhome4@gmail.com}

  8. With my amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the first thing that happened almost 2 years ago now, was speaking as if I were drunk. I wasn't. I initially did improve speech (articulating clearly but slow) but now I can no longer speak in an acceptable way. Then, a year later eating became problematic, I was biting my tongue and lips, and chewing became weak and less controlled. Soon after that some fingers started to fail me and things would drop out of my hands. Somewhere at that time bulbar ALS was diagnosed. The Rilutek (riluzole) did very little to help me. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating.. We tried every shot available but nothing was working. There has been little if any progress in finding a reliable treatment, Our care provider introduced us to Kycuyu Health Clinic ALS/MND herbal treatment. The treatment is a miracle.i recovered significantly! Visit www. kycuyuhealthclinic. co m

  12. I'm so Happy to write this article because I know it will help a lot of people who are suffering from Herpes. I am here to testify about the wonderful and most safe cure for herpes . I was positive to the deadly Virus called herpes and I lost hope completely because I was rejected even by my closest friends. I searched online to know and inquire about a cure for herpes and I saw testimony online on how Herbalist Ajagbo cured so many people from Herpes virus and other similar diseases. I decided to contact the great herbalist because I know that nature has the power to heal everything. I contacted him to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural roots and herbs. After 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure is ready and he sent it to me and i got it after 4 days. I used the medicine as he instructed (morning and evening ) and I got cured. it's really like a dream but I'm so happy. that's the reason i decided to also add more comment of Him so that more people can be saved just like me and if you need his help, contact him via Email: drajagbospiritualherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp:+2347048797131.
