Artists Repertory Theatre

Mission

Artists Repertory Theatre's mission is to produce intimate, provocative theatre and provide a home for a diverse community of artists and audiences to take creative risks.

Bottom Line for Portland

Stories are how we make sense of the world - especially in times of division, fear, and control. They knit us together to help understand what is, and imagine what could be. Your gift keeps Artists Rep a home for bold, new stories from local voices, plus: 
 

•  🛣️ PATHWAYS: a year-long mentorship program for BIPOC, gender-diverse Portlanders pursuing professional theatre careers.
•  🚪 Affordable Rentals: opening our doors to other arts organizations so cost never silences a story.
•  🎭 Oregon Artists: casts and crews bringing a season by PNW women playwrights to life.

 🫂 Community Access: because everyone thrives when the arts are welcoming and affordable for all.
