Dear Friend,
At PCS we consider you a donor and a true partner who helps advance our mission and values. I thank you for your partnership throughout this strange and wild year. A sentiment I have heard repeated by family, friends, and colleagues is that the silver lining to this challenging period has been the recognition of how important it is to check in with one another and to stay connected. The joy we feel when we gather after months of separation is unparalleled!
I look forward to welcoming you back to The Armory this fall as we celebrate the return of performances on our stages. Our 2021-2022 Season includes a beautiful array of plays, including August Wilson’s Gem of the Ocean, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Freestyle Love Supreme, and the heart-swelling return of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
As we get ready to close our fiscal year on June 30th, I hope you will consider supporting Soaring Together — a campaign focused on raising the necessary resources to soar back on stage in October. Your continued support is crucial to our ability to bring you inspiring, entertaining, and engaging programming — please join us and make a gift today!
Staying connected is deeply meaningful to me, and I am only a short email or phone call away. Please reach out if you’d like to chat and learn more about the work happening at PCS.
With warm regards and gratitude,
Soaring Together: Insights from Marissa Wolf
As we walk boldly forward into the 2021-2022 season, we look forward to the JAW New Play Festival in July as the first big, in-person offering back at The Armory. Feisty new plays, energetic actors, and you! Stay tuned for details on the powerhouse lineup we’re planning.
Behind the scenes this summer, we’re excited to welcome back the immensely talented production and front of house teams whose work will mark the important shift into making live theater again. The Armory floors and stairs are refinished and shiny, the bar has been rebuilt, and the theaters stand poised to welcome back audiences and artists alike.
We’ve made it fifteen months together! Your contribution to the Soaring Together campaign has a direct impact on our ability to come back strong. We hope you’ll join us to ensure a glorious re-opening!
Take a look behind the scenes to learn how Artistic Director Marissa Wolf was able to keep the show running during a pandemic, as seen through the eyes of her husband, Tom Toro!
Happy Hour with Marissa Wolf and Katie Nguyen!
Tuesday, July 13 • 6 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. • FREE

Our Community Values
Theater often brings productive discomfort to the surface. Portland Center Stage is committed to grappling with that discomfort, on and off the stage, and we invite members of our community to participate in that growth process with us. Our goal is to co-create safety for our community by identifying and interrupting instances of racism and all forms of oppression, when we witness them, through specific actions rooted in the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA).
