Local and Vocal

1 week ago | eugeneweekly.com | Camilla Mortensen

A newspaper not only provides information to its community, it also provides a forum for community members to weigh in on issues that matter to them, and engages in a dialogue. Eugene Weekly seeks to amplify voices and facilitate that dialogue, so in addition to running letters to the editor each week as well as periodic columns and guest viewpoints, we periodically run a Local and Vocal viewpoint issue. Read on for local voices on topics both local and international.

Not Your Grandma’s Show About Sex (Wait, Yes It Is)

1 week ago | eugeneweekly.com | Savannah Brown

“A Grandma’s Surprising Sexual Renaissance” is the subtitle that says it all for Charla Hathaway’s one-woman show, Naked at My Age. Hathaway is a Portland-based sexologist who is known by many as the “fairy godmother of sex.” Naked at My Age follows Hathaway’s experience getting into sex work in her mid-50s (which was over 20 years ago) after having an extramarital affair with a French soldier, and the lessons she’s learned about sex and intimacy through her adventures.
Swept Under the Rug

1 week ago | eugeneweekly.com | Alexis Weisend

For nearly four years, the city of Eugene has been skirting a state law that requires unhoused people camping in public to receive a 72-hour notice before city workers force them to remove their tents. Instead, Eugene officials have told city workers to give many unhoused people only two hours’ notice before evicting them and clearing away their tents and other belongings. Four unhoused people sued the city last year, asking a judge to stop what they believed to be an unlawful practice.

Earnestly Wilde About Spaaace

1 week ago | eugeneweekly.com | Savannah Brown

The Importance of Being Earnest… in Spaaace!, performed by the Roving Park Players, delivers probably the freshest look at queer playwright Oscar Wilde’s classic play yet — mostly because it’s set in the year 2365, so it’s already ahead of its time. The play is director Yeehaw Being’s take on The Importance of Being Earnest, one of the most performed comedies of all time, cut down and thrown into space, to make it “both more absurd and more relatable,” Being says.
