Feeble Flame is a Portland theater company founded by Ora Fruchter and Sarah Smith, whose handmade, interactive shows for all ages make heroes of the ones who cannot do what everyone else seems to do naturally. The work is funny, tender, and openly imperfect, and it is built so that nobody in the room has to get it right.
Ora Fruchter has been making puppet theater for adults and children for twenty years. Co-Artistic Director of Doppelskope, she has performed at La MaMa and St. Ann's Warehouse, been presented at Symphony Space and the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festival, and received two Jim Henson Foundation Family Grants. www.orafruchter.com
Sarah Smith is a writer, actor, and theater maker in Portland whose work includes projects with Portland Playhouse, Third Rail Repertory Theatre, CoHo Productions, and the Oregon Symphony, alongside screen credits including Into the Badlands (AMC) and Treme (HBO). Each fall she teaches Shakespeare in Portland schools with Shakespeare & Company and Portland Playhouse.
