Last week in Washington, D.C., the Professional Non-Profit Theatre Coalition (of which PCS is a founding member and on the steering committee) and speaker Lin-Manuel Miranda met with the Biden-Harris Administration’s Commitment to the Arts and Humanities to introduce a legislative plan to increase funding to American nonprofit performing arts organizations.
We are hopeful that this meeting brought to the White House staff's attention the precarious state of American theater and will be a boon in the effort of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Phylicia Rashad, Senator Amy Klobuchar and others who are proposing further funding for theaters across the country.

Portland Center Stage at The Armory inspires our community by bringing stories to life in unexpected ways. It is the largest theater company in Portland and among the top 20 regional theaters in the country. Established in 1988 as a branch of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the company became independent in 1994. Around 150,000 visitors attend The Armory annually to enjoy a mix of classic, contemporary and world premiere productions, along with the annual JAW: A Playwrights Festival, and a variety of high quality education and community programs. Home to two theaters, The Armory was the first building on the National Register of Historic Places — and the first performing arts venue in the country — to achieve a LEED Platinum rating.
