You Can’t Be Serious
A solo show that brings Death to life

Choreographer and Performer Andrea Parson brings her award winning solo show to the heart of Astoria, Oregon at Ten Fifteen Theater this May!

With dreams of becoming a professional dancer and artist, Andrea Parson grew up studying dance in Hillsboro Oregon, earned a dance degree from Loyola Marymount University (LA), and became a leading dancer for the acclaimed contemporary dance company, Northwest Dance Project in Portland, OR. She is now coming back to Hillsboro to bring her story back home, to the place where she grew up, Main street. It’s here at the Vault Theater that she will share her award winning solo show that shines a light into the dark waters of a tragic loss through an eloquent blend of dance and physical storytelling.

The journey of this show is extraordinary and unique. After Andrea’s loss of her sister to cancer in 2020 she decided, bravely, to turn this deeply personal tragedy into art. In 2021 she was accepted into the residency program with Portland based non-profit, From the Ground UP, an organization that supports the development of female and fem identifying artists and aims to create risky new art. Over the next few years Andrea worked closely with From the Ground UP’s artistic director, Katherine Murphy Lewis, who also was going through her own journey of loss of her father to cancer, who passed away in 2022, just months before the workshop in performance hit the stage. These two continued to collaborate and have gone on to create what has become a profoundly moving new work that places grief center stage.

In November 2023 the world premier of You Can’t Be Serious was met with sold out shows and rave reviews at BodyVox Dance Center in Portland, Oregon. After such a run it became clear this show had quite the life ahead of it from the Oregon Fringe in Ashland last spring to Hollywood Fringe (LA) this past summer. This fall You Can’t Be Serious met Portland Audiences again in partnership with Open Space at their studio theater before heading to New York City’s 42nd street as a part of the largest curated festival of solo work in the world, United Solo and received an award for Best Physical Theater.

Show Description: A final bow in Germany, a cancer diagnosis, a death, a cookie, a conversation with God. This evening of solo dance and storytelling by Andrea Parson explores the loss of her sister to breast cancer to 2020. You Can’t Be Serious is a hilarious and tragic story about witnessing, and grappling with death. Andrea sinks to the bottom, attempts a stand up routine and shines a light into the deepest waters of the ocean. The audience is pulled toward Andrea as she directly asks them questions about death and love. A dance between down and up, between the weight of tears and the levity of laughter, each movement of this story collides into the next in a captivating collage of grief that brings death fully to life.

Andrea Parson- Lead Artist
Andrea Parson’s performing career began in the basement of her childhood home where she put on original plays for 25 cents. She began choreographing at a young age, making dances for friends and family, and often improvised down grocery store aisles. She furthered her formal studies at the Joffrey Ballet, San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, and Loyola Marymount University, where she received a BA in dance in 2009. After graduating she joined Northwest Dance Project in Portland, Oregon, where she received a Princess Grace Dance Fellowship award in 2010. For 11 years she performed and toured nationally and internationally, finding much delight in dancing dramatic roles such as Hedda Gabler and Carmen. A love of drama and storytelling led her to self produced three solo dance theater pieces for live theater and film. A study of theater improvisation, physical theater and stand-up comedy greatly influences her creative work. When she’s not daydreaming and devising solo shows, she teaches dance and choreographs both for educational institutions and professional dance companies.

The Lewis & Clark National Park Association is pleased to announce a guest author event: Liberty Ships with Peter Marsh. This free event will take place on May 4, 2025, at 2 PM in the Netul River Room of the Visitor Center at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. Nautical/outdoor journalist and author Peter Marsh of Liberty Factory - The Untold Story of Henry Kaiser's Oregon Shipyards will speak about the WWII Kaiser shipyards on the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, beginning with 2025 being the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day or V-E Day on May 8, 1945. Autographed books and historical cards will also be available. Peter Marsh was born in Greenwich, in the heart of Britain’s maritime heritage, and was soon smitten with a love of small boats and sailing. These adventures gave him the raw material for articles in regional boating magazines, his first published works. Success in this field led him into a career as a freelance journalist and he widened his scope to cover all aspects of local maritime interest from fishing to commercial shipping. in 1996 he inherited a substantial archive of papers and photographs from Larry Barber, the retired marine editor of the local newspaper, The Oregonian. A visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy led him to look more closely at Barber’s wartime material. Peter has spent the last several years sorting, collating and editing the material, while also researching the background, and this book is the result. This event is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association (LCNPA) and hosted at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. The Fort Clatsop Bookstore is a program of the LCNPA, a nonprofit 501c3 supporting education at the park since 1963. The bookstore is located inside the visitor center at 92343 Fort Clatsop Road, Astoria, OR 97103 and online at FortClatsopBookstore.com & LewisAndClarkNPA.org
