Still in development, Vortex I is a musical, based on actual events, depicting Oregon Governor Tom McCall’s outside the box decision in 1970 to produce and fund a five-day rock festival in Estacada, Oregon. This decision meant turning a blind eye to the particpants’ nudity and drug use. In the end, the festival prevented violence between anti-Vietnam activists and American Legionnaires who were gathering for a national conference in Portland during the summer of that year.
