Lion Speaks Presents: Outdoor School

A tree can be a home and a forest can be a school, but raised in the wilds of 90’s Portland, Vin must first learn to be a child.
Set in the nostalgia of 1990’s Portland and the timeless beauty of the Oregon woods, we follow charismatic Melvin Shambry, a 12-year-old navigating a childhood shaped by instability, homelessness, and limited access to opportunity.
When Melvin is introduced to an outdoor education program, time in nature and the presence of caring adults begin to shift his sense of possibility. Told with restraint and rooted in lived experience, Outdoor School explores how access, mentorship, and community can quietly alter the course of a young person’s life.
A transformative true story about the search for shelter and the power of being seen.
Doors open at 6PM
