This weekend of radio theater invites listeners to experience two highly acclaimed radio plays with decidedly queer subplots. Friday is a night of suspense: "The Strange Case of Nick M." concerns a podcaster who stumbles upon a series of questionable medical experiments conducted on a concert pianist with a 30-second memory. Saturday night is pure comedy: "Price in Purgatory" follows the late, great, camp horror icon Vincent Price as he goes on a Dantesque journey with a lookalike spirit guide. Pre-recorded. Strictly audio. Eye masks provided.

"Oregon ArtsWatch" on "The Strange Case of Nick M.": "Pisarra & company keep things playful, speculative, entertaining, tickling the audience around the edges of consciousness."

"Arts Independent" on "Price in Purgatory": "The play is both hysterically funny and intensely thought-provoking..."
