Tiny Father
by Mike Lew
The most recent play from Mike Lew!
This production is held at:
The Ellyn Bye Studio in The Armory, 128 NW 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97209
Overnight, easygoing Daniel’s life is flipped upside down when a friends-with-benefits situation leaves him the only-father of a baby girl delivered three months early. He begins to learn the ins and outs of caring for a premature baby with the help of tough-love NICU nurse Caroline. But Daniel has a growing distrust of rigid hospital protocols, and Caroline harbors doubt in Daniel’s fitness as a father. Exploring the tension between parents, healthcare professionals, and hospitals, Tiny Father is a hilarious and heartfelt battle-of-wills.
Profile’s production marks only the third time this script has seen the stage, previously produced by Barrington Stage Company and the Chataqua Institution and LA’s Geffen Playhouse. Our production brings Mike back to Portland to continue to refine and evolve the script with Portland actors – our audiences will be the first to see the newest revised script!
