Mainstage Productions and Education Programs
PORTLAND STAGE IS A HUB OF CREATIVE ACTIVITY CONNECTING OUR COMMUNITY TO OUTSTANDING THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES. THROUGH OUR MAINSTAGE SHOWS, ACCLAIMED NEW WORK INITIATIVES AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS, WE PROVIDE A DIVERSE RANGE OF PRODUCTIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT CHALLENGE THINKING AND PROMOTE EMPATHY, INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF OUR ART FORM. DURING THE PANDEMIC, WE'VE FOUND SUCCESSFUL METHODS TO CONTINUE CREATING AND CONNECTING WITH OUR AUDIENCE. THE 2021-22 SEASON INCLUDED: EIGHT LIVE MAINSTAGE PRODUCTIONS THAT WERE ALSO AVAILABLE IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT; SEVERAL NEW PLAY DEVELOPMENT READING/WORKSHOPS; AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS ENGAGING NEARLY 4,000 STUDENTS AND OVER 200 TEACHERS. WE BELIEVE THAT THEATER IS ABOUT INCLUSIVITY; IT IS ABOUT OPENING OURSELVES TO SEE THE WORLD FROM ANOTHER PERSON'S PERSPECTIVE; IT IS ABOUT BUILDING COMMUNITY. OUR BOARD AND STAFF ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN THAT SUPPORTS OUR GOAL OF INCLUSIVITY AND ANTI-RACISM, IN ADDITION TO WORKING TOWARD THE COMPLETION OF A $6M+ CAPITAL CAMPAIGN FOCUSED ON ACCESSIBILITY AND VISIBILITY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2022 – Jun 30, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.7MProgram 1 [2025]
LAST SEASON, PORTLAND STAGE DEVELOPED EIGHT HANDCRAFTED THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS; OUR EDUCATION PROGRAMS ENGAGED ALMOST 10,000 STUDENTS IN 13 MAINE COUNTIES; COMBINED WITH ADDITIONAL READINGS, WORKSHOPS AND GALAS, WE WELCOMED THOUSANDS OF PATRONS INTO OUR SPACE, AND HUNDREDS OF ARTISTS WERE CONNECTED WITH OUR COMMUNITY. WE EMBRACED AUDIENCES IN OUR NEWLY RENOVATED SPACE AS WE CELEBRATED OUR MAINE ROOTSFROM TRAILBLAZER MARGARET CHASE SMITH TO BELOVED MAINE PLAYWRIGHT JOHN CARIANIAND FOUND WAYS TO NURTURE THE NEXT GENERATION THROUGH A NEW CYCLE OF THE CLAUDER COMPETITION FOR NEW ENGLAND PLAYWRIGHTS AND A BRILLIANT TEEN SHAKESPEARE COMPANY'S PRODUCTION OF A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. OUR BIGGEST GOAL WAS FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL THAT PORTLAND STAGE BELONGED TO THEM, THAT IT WAS THEIR HOME. BY EMBRACING OUR COMMUNITY, WE FOUND OUR COMMUNITY EMBRACED US BACK.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2024 – Jun 30, 2025Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.3M
