Charles Deemer teaches screenwriting at Portland State University. He is a playwright, novelist, screenwriter, and pioneer in hyperdrama. He was the editor of Oregon Literary Review and the artistic director of Small Screen Video.

Hi, I just came across this story. I also was involved with Production Co. about this time. I performed in TRAVESTIES and MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN at the Swann auditorium at the Portland Art Museum. Later, Peter and Gaynor along with the CETA company toured these shows to schools around Oregon. These shows were my first venture in Portland theater. I remember feeling at the time that I was part of something out of the ordinary.
