Things I Hide From Dad (Portland) A multi-sensory storytelling show about coming of age in your father's doomsday cult -- reckoning with family, sex, and Kenny G.
About this Event

There's a war going on inside 12-year old Travis. Raised in his father’s doomsday cult, he believes the mere thought of sex might trigger a nuclear apocalypse. But he just can’t shake these… feelings he’s been having.
Join seven-time winner of the Moth, on this immersive storytelling ride, as he investigates the monsters - and friends - hiding in our closets.
“A multi-sensory masterclass in capturing an audience's attention, that enchants with an entertaining, relatable and ultimately uplifting tale.”*
"Strikes the rare sweet spot of being thought- provoking, poignant, and deeply funny. Travis is effortlessly charismatic and vulnerable as he takes you through a fantastical yet authentic world that reckons with family, sex, religion, and Kenny G. This show is not to be missed!

“An engrossing and entertaining journey that buzzes with cathartic moments and a particular kind of joy — that of self-discovery... Will leave you with a small tear in your eye and a warm glow in your heart. Travis Abels is a freely physical, funny, openhearted performer, who tells his story with charm and verve, using smart theatrical devices, including a marvelous sound design. Go see this one."***
