FALL IN LOVE WITH THEATRE
Anthropology

OCT 23 – NOV 15 @ 100 LIVES THEATRE
KOIN 6 – Everyday Northwest
One local play tells a story of family, grief, and artificial intelligence
“What does it really take to love someone unconditionally?”
That’s the question at the heart of the latest production from 100 Lives Repertory Theatre, “Anthropology.” An intimate, sexy, and quietly unsettling thriller, the play explores grief, artificial intelligence, and the enduring bond between sisters. Featuring an all-woman cast, this production aims to bring a fresh and original story to Portland’s theater scene. Everyday Northwest host learned all about this production from co-producers Brooke Totman and Annie Kehoe.

we are 100 lives.
A COMPANY of actors dedicated to creating raw, emotionally honest work centered on the craft of acting and the work of women artists over 40. We’re launching a movement that champions: depth over flash, experience over novelty, and connection over comfort.
We’re committed to character-driven plays, stripped of spectacle to create intimate intersections of life and story. Messy and real and alive with craft, we play in small spaces to maximize intimacy, bringing you close enough to feel every shift, every breath

‘Messy, intimate, real’: Once a winery, SE Portland’s new women-led theater isn’t afraid to get raunchy
At 53, Totman considers herself the best actor she’s ever been. But once she entered her mid-40s, Totman said, she noticed a clear difference in the kinds of roles that were suddenly available to her — parts that didn’t reflect the experience, depth of emotion and skill possessed by an actor of her age. It seems like every role for women is targeted toward those in their 20s or 30s, Kehoe said. That’s the concept 100 Lives rejects. “I feel like this is when our chapter gets really, really rich and interesting,” Kehoe, 45, said. “Life gets juicy at that age.”
