Brian Friel, Ireland’s master storyteller (Dancing at Lughnasa) has devised a riveting drama about the terrible consequences of a medical miracle.  Molly has lived in happy, capable, independent darkness since she was ten months old.  When her husband, a restless, unemployed enthusiast makes her blindness his latest cause, he consults a once famous star surgeon who, despite being half drowned in whiskey agrees to attempt to restore Molly’s sight.

When the bandages come off, remarkable revelations ensue.  The privacy of blindness is assaulted.  Can one “learn to see”? or will the shock of realization overwhelm a beautiful woman who has never seen her own face!  Friel’s fascinating journey plunges deeply into the secrets and hearts of three extraordinary characters who lower the veil and allow us into their very private lives.

“Donate, Match, Get the Whole Match Back”

How to Participate

Make a donation to the Oregon Cultural Trust. The cultural tax credit is generous: up to $500 for individuals, $1,000 for couples filing jointly, $2,500 for corporations. And when you add up the deductions and credit, at the federal and state levels, the tax savings for cultural giving are impressive.

To claim your tax credit you simply make a matching gift or gifts – same or greater dollar amount – to any combination of cultural nonprofits in Oregon.

If you’re a member of a public broadcaster, an historical society or a museum of any kind, or if you’re making cash donations to a library or school foundation, an art center or nonprofit gallery, a heritage organization or a performing arts group, you’re eligible to make a matching gift to the Trust for which you may claim a 100% Oregon tax credit.

Oregon’s unique cultural tax credit is a powerful incentive. But the reason to give is to sustain and develop Oregon’s arts, heritage and humanities.

The Cultural Trust was designed to direct support to cultural nonprofits (like the Chehalem Cultural Center)  in a multitude of ways. But it all starts with you!
