OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAMS ARE OUR MAIN STAGE SEASON OF LARGE-SCALE PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIONS WHICH INCLUDES OUR INNOVATIVE IN DIALOGUE PROGRAMS OF LECTURES, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, AND CONCERT STAGINGS; OUR COMMUNITY PROFILE PROGRAM, WHICH USES THE PRACTICE OF WRITING TO CREATE NETWORKS OF SUPPORT AND RESILIENCE IN A DEDICATED AFFINITY SPACE FOR A COMMUNITY IMPORTANT TO THE FEATURED WRITER; AND OUR PLAYWRIGHTS RESIDENCY, WHICH EMBEDS THE FEATURED WRITER IN OUR PORTLAND THEATRE TO DEVELOP NEW WORK, LEAD WORKSHOPS AND ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITY OF PATRONS AND ARTISTS.
