The Producers
Portland Opera
1515 S.W. Morrison
Tickets: $31-$71
The award-winning Mel Brooks musical “The Producers” is the story of Max Bialystock, a down-on-his-luck theatrical producer, and mousy accountant Leo Bloom. With a “get rich” scheme, the two devise a plan to raise more money than they need for a sure-fire Broadway flop and will pocket the difference. “Springtime for Hitler” is the musical theatrical fiasco that’s sure to rake in the millions. Be sure to get tickets early for this February-scheduled performance. They will sell out quickly!

PSU’s fraternities and sororities navigate being ‘Greek” at a commuter school
By: Noah Carandanis
While not having the same footprint on campus as those at University of Oregon or Oregon State University, PSU has a handful of fraternities and sororities on campus that provide a social outlet for students from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Being situated in downtown Portland on a commuter campus presents unique challenges and opportunities to Greek organizations. PSU Vanguard spoke with the Theta Epsilon chapter of the fraternity Kappa Sigma along with the Delta Omicron chapter of the sorority Alpha Chi Omega.
…
With PSU’s commuter school culture at times providing a chilling effect on socialization on campus, Greek organizations can provide a sense of community for students during their time downtown.
“We’re really big on just community. This is a commuter school, guys don’t come here to [party], we are trying to make it a community that will have your back. We try to invest our time and resources into programs that we believe they give back to the campus of our specific university.”—Antonio Veaudry—the PSU Kappa Sigma Chapter President
