Shout out to Week! Thanks, Andi Prewitt, for the great review of HAIR -- so many important points.

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.

Theatre is central to every community’s economic and social vitality. This is a critical moment for theatres across the country, with many struggling financially.

That’s why we are thrilled to share the ten new recipients of our annual Social Impact Theatre Grant Program, which provides production support for theatres in Western states igniting positive changes in their communities through the programming they bring to life on stage, and innovating how they engage their audiences around timely, relevant issues.

We believe in the positive impact these productions will have on audiences that will extend well beyond the theatre walls.

Our Story

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.

LEGO Liberace and Liza: A Tribute
🎤Yesterday I spoke to the wonderful residents of the Mirabella retirement housing community! And today I played a high school matinee audience. We all lived through the pandemic so we have that touchstone in common when I present this show on now until December 18 at Portland Center Stage

💪I think I’m finally at the halfway mark of these 45 shows. It’s the little things that keep me going. This s**t is hard.

💰HOW DO I RELAX ON MY DAY OFF AFTER DOING 7 shows a week at Portland Center Stage? BY RIFLING THROUGH CRAP HEADED TO A LANDFILL AND BUYING THE GOOD S**T THEN DONATING IT TO ASYLUM SEEKERS.💰
