Portland’s cornerstone free jazz festival is set to kick off at Cathedral Park, and the town of Sherwood is welcoming guests back for the Robin Hood Festival. We’ve also got a Tony Award-winning play opening this week and pair of comedy shows to choose from.
Although the state-wide indoor COVID-19 mask mandate has lifted, some venues or artists still have restrictions in place. Check website venue information for specific COVID safety requirements.

“Hadestown”
This 2019 musical won eight Tony Awards, including Best New Musical, and also won six Outer Critics Circle awards. The concept for the play came from a good folk and jazz album, which was workshopped into a great sung-through Broadway musical. Populated with gods, nymphs and three nosy Fates, the musical sets the tale of the tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice into a vaguely Prohibition-era setting on Earth. (Think Mardi Gras-meets-ancient Greece.) Not up on your Greek mythology? Well, then just go for the hell of it.
Opens 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 19 and continues various dates and times through July 24, Keller Auditorium, 222 S.W. Clay St.; tickets start at $25, some shows are sold out; portland.broadway.com
