DramaWatch: At Corrib, a passing of the Irish torch

Also in a busy week: A “Barbecue” at Portland Playhouse, “The Chinese Lady” at Artists Rep, a “Peep” from The Reformers and a “Lonely Vampire” from Imago, “Danse Macabre” returns, plus plays onscreen.

Farewell to three who made a difference

Longtime Portland sculptor Michihiro Kosuge, philanthropist and friend to artists Debi Coleman, and youth music leader Ian Mouser have died. In their productive lives they helped make Portland a better place.
