The Portland’5 Podcast is an exploration of Portland’s theatre community through the lens of its five iconic downtown venues.

Art matters. Art brings joy, inspires the mind, and unites communities. Art changes lives.

In this episode, we touch on how nonprofit arts organizations in the Portland area can reach out to Portland’5 to rent their venues and artistic spaces. We’ll hear from three organizations that have partnered with Portland’5 to utilize these theatres:

The August Wilson Red Door Project, whose mission is to change Portland’s racial ecology through the arts

Stumptown Stages, Portland’s professional musical theatre company

Oregon Children’s Theatre, which believes that all children, families, and communities can learn and grow through theater and the arts.

This season, Stumptown presents West Side Story, while Oregon Children’s Theatre  opens with  Me…Jane, about the dreams and adventures of a young Jane Goodall. Listen for keywords WEST and JANE during this episode September 29, 4 pm, for a chance to win tickets to both shows.
