In this episode, we touch on how the nonprofit theaters in the Portland area can reach out to Portland’5 to rent their venues and artistic spaces. In addition, we will hear from three of these organizations who have utilized these opportunities. The first is the August Wilson Red Door Project, whose mission is to change racial ecology through the arts. The second is Stumptown Stages, a musical theatre company who has presented fully-staged professional musicals for Portland audiences. This season, they are kicking it off with West Side Story. The third testimony comes from Oregon Children’s Theatre, who believe that all children, families, and communities can learn and grow through theater and the arts. Their season begins with Me…Jane, about the dreams and adventures of a young Jane Goodall.
