THE BRIDGE LADY

A One-Woman Show

Written and performed by Sharon Wood Wortman

Directed by Kate Hawkes

In this one-bridge-after-another multimedia event involving narrow escapes and invisible disabilities, the WRBs (Willamette River Bridges) take on human characteristics, a mother and daughter jitterbug to Fats Domino music, and audience members, via footage filmed July 10, 2009, climb through the arch ribs and up to Fremont’s two-foot wide catwalk for a flagpole look at Portland. With guest musician Stephen Cohen and dancer Dori Davenport. Not appropriate for children
