Portland Civic Theater Guild Drammy 2010 Awards

I've long been a supporter of defunkt theater's production of Sarah Kane's devastating and mesmerizing 4.48 Psychosis  and last night the Portland Civic Theater Guild's Drammy award committee saw what all, but one critic in the metro area knew- seeing this show was something special.
