Salmonpeople
Marshfield Auditorium
Coos Bay, OR
Salmonpeople is theatre so sly, so real, so razor sharp funny, it's like going out to dinner with Robin Williams, Garrison Keillor and Johnny Appleseed, everybody talking with their mouths full. The show is a homespun tapestry of character insight, good science, good humor, and astounding freehand cartography. At one point, Peter's on-stage persona, Cyrus Jackson, draws the entire map of our bioregion, naming over 100 rivers. From memory! Audacious storytelling, Salmonpeople is richly staged with beautiful sound and lighting environments. You've never seen anything like it.
"Performance after performance, Peter walked onstage, sucked everyone in, and didn't let them go until after the standing ovation." Scot Whitney, Director, Harlequin Productions
Known as the Bioregional Bard of Salmon Nation, Peter Donaldson has given 34 performances in 23 towns garnering spontaneous standing ovations every time.
Salmonpeople is a one man show with everybody in it. Read below to hear what audiences are saying. Bring your teenager, bring your fifth grader, your grandma, your boss, farmers, fishers, foresters, preachers and teachers! Salmonpeople reaches all ages, everybody's bottom line, and one big landscape.
