SUMMARY:Live Wire with Luke Burbank!
DESCRIPTION:Live Wire Radio is an independently produced radio show based in Portland\, Or. Hosted by Luke Burbank and announced by Elena Passarello\, the show artfully blends unpredictable conversation\, live music\, and original comedy featuring all kinds of cultural talent and creative minds\, from emerging artists to established acts. Live Wire champions discovery by producing engaging\, spirited\, and genuine live and listening experiences for a local and national audience. \nW. Kamau Bell is a stand-up comedian\, director\, producer\, and dad. For seven seasons\, he was the host and executive producer of the five-time Emmy Award-winning CNN docuseries United Shades of America. Kamau won a Peabody Award for his Showtime docuseries We Need To Talk About Cosby. He is also the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Do The Work: An Antiracist Activity Book. His first book was his memoir with the easy-to-remember title: The Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell: Tales of a 6′ 4″\, African American\, Heterosexual\, Cisgender\, Left-Leaning\, Asthmatic\, Black and Proud Blerd\, Mama’s Boy\, Dad\, and Stand-Up Comedian. Recently\, Kamau directed and produced the HBO documentary 1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed. As a stand-up comic\, Kamau has recorded two comedy specials. The second one\, Private School Negro\, is available on Netflix. Kamau is on the board of directors of DonorsChoose—a non-profit that helps teachers raise money for class projects\, and Live Free—a non-profit dedicated to ending gun violence\, mass incarceration\, and mass criminalization. Kamau also is the ACLU’s Celebrity Ambassador for Racial Justice. He lives in Oakland\, California.

An artist who “sings about cycles of nature and human life… his music exults in modern technology and cultural fusions.” (The New York Times) Okaidja’s work is at once deeply rooted in heritage and fearlessly contemporary. His sound—a spicy\, rhythmic blend of indigenous traditions\, ambient textures\, and what he calls “Afro-Zeng”—channels the primal pulse of African percussion through the lens of a modern global citizen with expansive influences.

SUMMARY:I Am An American Live
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Asian American Month\, The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts\, in collaboration with The Immigrant Story\, proudly presents I Am An American Live: Stories of Exclusion and Belonging. This powerful evening honoring identity\, resilience\, and community is part of the programming by the Oregon Rises Above Hate coalition in honor of Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month. Join us on Saturday\, May 16\, 2026\, for a production that promises to inspire\, connect\, and stay with you long after the curtain falls. \nAs Oregon—and the nation—approach the 250th anniversary of American independence\, The Immigrant Story brings four powerful\, deeply personal journeys from Vietnam\, China\, the Philippines\, and Burma. Some crossed oceans; others arrived as children\, clinging to their parents\, unaware of what awaited them. On this night\, they step into the spotlight to reflect\, to reckon\, and to share their truths—inviting us to listen deeply\, find common ground\, and remember that our shared humanity is stronger than our differences. \nThe evening culminates in a world premiere performance by Talilo Marfil\, 2026 Fields Artist Fellow. Created exclusively for I Am An American Live\, this original musical set traces Talilo’s own arduous journey—shaped by the streets of Portland—and the path that led him to become a powerful force uplifting and mentoring the city’s youth. \nNow in its fifth year\, this acclaimed live production brings the voices of Asian Americans to the stage in a dynamic fusion of storytelling\, music\, and performance. The result is an evening that moves the heart\, challenges assumptions\, and reminds us who we are—together. \nThis free performance is made possible through the generous support of Anne Naito-Campbell. Additional programming support is provided by the Ronald W. Naito\, MD Foundation and a grant from the Richard B. Siegel Foundation. \nBefore and after the performance\, we are delighted to welcome a select group of artists and nonprofit partners who will be sharing their work with our audience in the lobby. Joining us will be Elizabeth Mehren\, award-winning author of I Lived to Tell the World; Talilo Marfil\, this year’s Fields Fellow and featured artist; and Kim Stafford\, author and Oregon Poet Laureate. \n  \nJoin Us for a Special Pre-Event Happy Hour! \nCome early and celebrate our stories with drinks and great company. Join us at 6:00 PM in The Reser lobby for a delightful pre-event Happy Hour. Drinks and light snacks will be available for purchase. \nMeet Elizabeth Mehren\, author of I Lived to Tell the World—purchase a copy of her award-winning book and have it signed. \nConnect with our partner nonprofits sharing stories and resources about the immigrant experience. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to mingle\, learn\, and celebrate together before the main event begins. \nThe auditorium opens at 6:30 PM. \nContent Advisory:\nSome stories shared during this event include references to trauma\, drug use\, and self-harm. We encourage guests to take care while listening and to engage with the material in whatever way feels most comfortable for you. \nSeating for this performance is General Admssion.

SUMMARY:National Geographic Live: The Untold Story of Sharks

SUMMARY:Ari Shapiro: Thank You For Listening
DESCRIPTION:One of the most recognized and beloved American storytellers\, Ari Shapiro (NPR\, Pink Martini) returns to the stage with a new cabaret solo show. Hilarious\, moving\, and uplifting\, Thank You For Listening adapts tales from Shapiro’s best-selling memoir The Best Strangers in the World into an evening of stories and songs about the power of listening to bridge divides. \n“I’ve used the phrase Thank you for listening to mean so many things\,” Ari says\, “It’s versatile\, sort of like Shalom\, Aloha\, or Bless Your Heart.” In this show with music direction by Henry Koperski\, Ari shares behind-the-scenes stories of flying on Air Force One and reporting from war zones\, imparts lessons he learned from his fortune teller grandmother\, and recites selected excerpts from his treasured collection of hate mail – all in an exploration of the profound difference that merely listening to one another can have on the world. With songs from Billy Joel\, Paul Simon\, Taylor Swift\, Stephen Sondheim and Rufus Wainwright among many others\, audiences will leave Thank You For Listening feeling more hopeful about the world around them…and may never listen to All Things Considered in quite the same way again. \nAri Shapiro is the award-winning co-host of All Things Considered\, NPR’s landmark nightly news program. As a journalist\, he has reported from above the Arctic Circle and aboard Air Force One. He has covered wars in Iraq\, Ukraine\, and Israel\, and he has filed stories from dozens of countries and most of the 50 states. Before joining the All Things Considered host team in 2015\, he was NPR’s international correspondent based in London. He was previously NPR’s White House Correspondent during the Obama presidency; he embedded with the 2012 presidential campaign of Republican Mitt Romney; and he was NPR’s Justice Correspondent for five years during the George W. Bush administration. Some of his awards include the Silver Gavel\, an Edward R. Murrow Award\, and the Daniel Schorr Journalism Prize. \nShapiro is also a frequent guest singer with the “little orchestra” Pink Martini\, from his hometown of Portland\, Oregon. He has recorded on four of the band’s albums\, singing in English\, Hebrew\, Ladino\, Spanish\, Arabic and Armenian. Since his 2009 debut with the band at the Hollywood Bowl\, he has performed in many of the world’s most storied venues\, including The Royal Albert Hall in London\, L’Olympia in Paris\, and Carnegie Hall in New York. He has shared a stage with both Chita and Rita (Rivera and Moreno)\, among other artists. In 2019\, he collaborated with Alan Cumming to create Och and Oy: A Considered Cabaret\, and they continue to tour together. At the Kennedy Center\, he has performed as a guest singer in Taylor Mac’s Holiday Sauce; as a soloist with The Washington Chorus in Igor Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex; and as a featured singer in the Washington Ballet’s original production of The Sun Also Risess. He was also featured in the American debut of the play\, Request Concert\, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In 2016 Ari debuted his original one-man cabaret show\, Homeward\, and has since performed it around the US. \nTwo performances: \nFriday\, December 20 at 2 PM\nFriday\, December 20 at 7:30 PM \n  \n \nSponsored by TriMet
