Mission and programs · 2024

• FOUNDED IN 1997, PROFILE THEATRE PROJECT (THE ORGANIZATION) IS THE ONLY THEATER ON THE WEST COAST DEDICATED TO AN IN-DEPTH EXPLORATION OF THE PLAYWRIGHTS VOICE. PROFILE THEATRES MISSION IS TO PRODUCE A SEASON OF WORLD-CLASS PRODUCTIONS AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CENTERED AROUND THE FEATURED WRITER WHOSE VISION BROADENS OUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE WORLD AND DEEPENS OUR COLLECTIVE COMPASSION. EACH YEAR WE USE A MASTER ARTISTS UNIQUE VISION AS A LENS TO EXPLORE THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN ART AND OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT THE THEATRE IS A CONVENING GROUND FOR PEOPLE TO GATHER TOGETHER, SHARING STORIES AND BUILDING COMMUNITY AROUND SOCIAL ISSUES AND POLITICAL EVENTS. SINCE 2018, WEVE MOVED FROM A ONE-PLAYWRIGHT, ONE-SEASON MODEL TO ONE WHERE WE CURATE THE BODIES OF WORK OF TWO OR THREE WRITERS IN TANDEM OVER TWO YEARS, ALLOWING US TO AMPLIFY SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES OF OUR TIME THROUGH THE LENS OF MULTIPLE LEADING PLAYWRIGHTS. OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAMS ARE OUR MAIN STAGE SEASON OF LARGE-SCALE PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTIONS; OUR EXPANSIVE IN DIALOGUE PROGRAM OF LECTURES, PANEL DISCUSSIONS, AND CONCERT STAGINGS THAT HELP PATRONS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ENGAGE MORE DEEPLY WITH THE WORK ON THE MAINSTAGE; OUR COMMUNITY PROFILE PROGRAM, WHICH USES THE PRACTICE OF WRITING TO CREATE NETWORKS OF MUTUAL SUPPORT AND RESILIENCE IN A DEDICATED AFFINITY SPACE FOR A DIFFERENT COMMUNITY EACH SEASON; 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. SINCE 2016, WE HAVE EXCLUSIVELY CENTERED BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, WOM*N, AND JEWISH WRITERS AND ARTISTS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT BY CENTERING THE STORIES OF THE GLOBAL MAJORITY, WE IN OUR SMALL WAY HELP TO CREATE A MORE JUST AND EQUITABLE SOCIETY. SINCE 2022, WE HAVE BEGUN COMMISSIONING AND PREMIERING NEW PLAYS BY OUR FEATURED WRITERS. THE ABILITY TO PREMIERE NEW WORK BY SOME OF THE COUNTRYS MOST IMPORTANT MID-CAREER WRITERS MEANS THAT PROFILE THEATRE PROJECT IS NOW IN A POSITION TO CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO THE CANON OF NEW AMERICAN PLAYS, IN ADDITION TO SERVING OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY WITH WORLD CLASS THEATRE AND ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES.

As filed on the 2024 return.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
