You’ve probably been seeing the finished reels from ‘Fat Ham’ all over your feeds lately. Now, here is a little look at the making of all that content! And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t shout out the fantastic PCS media team for capturing the heart of the barbecue so wonderfully.

Now, we somehow find ourselves gearing up for the final week of the run. Seriously, only 7 performances are left so if you’ve been meaning to experience this wildly funny Pulitzer Prize-winning production for yourself, NOW is the time.

Tickets via the link in our bio.

Our co-production with is on their Main Stage now - May 17.

Something remarkable is coming... Season 19 at Portland Playhouse.

Five stories. One unforgettable season.

Second chances and high stakes; dinners that detonate and deals that reshape history. One woman who changed the sound of the world, and one man who changed the law of the land. And the ghost of who we used to be, and who we might still become.

Season 19 subscriptions are live today. Our house holds on average 110 seats. Half of our subscriber spots are already gone. If you’re reading this, you’re still in time, but not for long.
