Black Pearl Sings was very well acted and incredibly sung! Both actresses were very convincing in their portrayal of wanted to break free of their imposed restraints from race and gender inequalities. Avery wanted to stay after for the group discussion with the actors and activists about racism in our society now and then. It was a memorable event.
Afterwords, we crossed the street to Deschutes Brew Pub for a wonderful meal. I can't believe I didn't take pictures (could totally kick myself!!). But it was a great ending to our wonderful day. Daniel and I ordered their quinoa & cashew burgers with sweet potato fries and a salad. It was the only vegan meal on their menu although they did offer to make their wild mushroom flatbread pizza vegan by substituting their marinara for olive oil garlic mix which sounded really yummy but I was really in the mood to try their burger. Very tasty!! Avery had the white cheddar cheese with Obsidian beer mac and cheese. He loved it. Daniel and I had their Hefeweizen. Their Hefeweizen is one of the best Oregon Hefs we've tried and is a beautiful interpretation of a traditional German Weizen ale. Daniel also had their white IPA which he said went very well with his burger. Deschutes beers are vegan unless they specifically say they have honey. It's always nice to not have to worry about finding a vegan restaurant on special days like this. We love Portland for it's culture, great food and best of all the beer!
