EVERYONE WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU

 “A small masterpiece . . . ultimately accessible, tender and liberating . . . the recreation of theater for our time, and of our time.”

— The Oregonian

They are watching you, and you don't see it. You are becoming them, but you don't know it.

 

No one has a family this strange; nobody has a family that loves each other this much; no one has a family that hates each other this much… except you, and everyone who looks like you.


 

Awkward confessions and eruptions of song and dance, fragile reconciliations and breakfast in your underwear, live video and an original pulsating score: Everyone Who Looks Like You weaves a hallucinatory quilt of family experience that is intensely personal yet oddly universal. Drawing from experiences of the Hand2Mouth ensemble, Everyone Who Looks Like You is a family drama exploded for the 21st century.

"The accumulation of the play's evolving sense memories transcends the specific and elevates us to the universal. This is where we enter the realm of authentic, groundbreaking art." 

— Carol Wells, The Oregonian, November 2009

“The seamlessly attuned Hand2Mouth company ensemble treats its subject with casual intimacy… an aching tenderness that is spot-on for its subject.”

Alexis Rehrmann, Culturephile (Portland Monthly), November 2009

Everyone Who Looks Like You is the company’s most polished production to date… portraying family just as it is: the people to whom you happen to be related, who made you who you are, who loved you more and caused you more pain than anyone else ever could, and whom you will one day inevitably become.”

Ben Waterhouse, Willamette Week, November 2009

 

“The young company has steeled themselves to tell the unvarnished truth.”

Alison Hallett, Portland Mercury, November 2009

 

“This piece alternates between being hilarious, harrowingly recognizable and – dare we acknowledge it – moving.”

Mead Hunter, meadhunter.blogspot.com/2009/11/thespian-nation.html, November 2009

 

A “stellar look at the dynamics of family… It seems to hit the heart directly.”

Carly Nairn, The Daily Vanguard, May 2009

“What Walters and his troupe seem to be after is nothing less than the recreation of theater for our time, and of our time, when collaboration trumps authority and multimedia is a fact of life and a linear storyline is no longer necessary in a world that jumps from Web site to Web site. Judging by the number of younger people in the packed house, it appears they are succeeding.”

Carol Wells, The Oregonian, May 2009

Everyone Who Looks Like You was supported in part by the Regional Arts and Culture
Council, The Kinsman Foundation, Multnomah County Cultural Coalition, Oregon Cultural Trust and developed through artist residencies at Caldera and Milepost 5.
