Join us for a heartfelt evening of song and story as three celebrated Portland performers,
Merideth Kaye Clark, Susannah Mars, and Stephanie Lynne Smith bring the unforgettable music of Stephen Sondheim to life.
This is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of connection, memory, and masterful musical theatre. From laughter to longing, this evening will be filled with the wit, warmth, and lyrical brilliance that made Sondheim a legend. Whether you know every lyric by heart or are discovering his genius for the first time, you’ll experience Sondheim as it should be: intimate, insightful, and full of heart.
We are also thrilled to include local legend, Molly Schwarz as a special guest for this event.
Buy your tickets now and be part of an evening that promises to stay with you long after the final note.
From the stage to international concert halls, these remarkable artists bring heart, humor, and unmatched musicality to Sondheim’s timeless songs.
Merideth brings her powerhouse pipes and theatrical finesse to the stage, with credits ranging from serving as Elphaba Standby in Wicked’s First National Tour to originating roles in two Off-Broadway musicals, and concert work that’s captivated audiences from Portland to New York.
Susannah, a celebrated voice in the Pacific Northwest theater scene (and beyond), blends warmth, wit, and emotional depth drawn from a lifetime of storytelling, from Portland Center Stage to a diplomatic arts envoy in Cairo.
Stephanie, an incredible pianist and creative force, has shared stages with the likes of Alan Cumming and the LA Philharmonic—and brings her signature energy and heart to every note she plays.
Together, they invite you into the rich, layered world of Sondheim, where every lyric matters, and every song tells a story.
