As we look back on a very challenging year, I am proud to present Portland Stage’s 2019-20 Annual Report – an overview of our aspirations and accomplishments, none of which would have been possible without your support.

Dear Friends,

Portland is a creative hub. Our core Mainstage productions are selected and handcrafted by and for our community, and our innovative Education and New Programs are designed to nurture and sustain future generations of and to creating great art, passionate about using the theater to educate, and dedicated to our community.

In the past year, Portland Stage produced the highest grossing play in our organization’s 46-year history, Almost, Maine by beloved native Mainer, John Cariani. We continued our nationally renowned Education Programs despite school closures in the spring, bringing them online and reaching thousands of households across New England and beyond. We maintained our commitment to fostering New Work by emerging theater artists during the 31st Annual and very first ever Virtual Little Festival of the Unexpected, expanding our reach by offering online readings.

Mission, Values &

Vision

As we celebrated Maine’s Bicentennial, we were faced with a global pandemic no one could have seen coming, yet we were able to close out the year in the black thanks to the tremendous efforts of our staff and artists and the humbling support of our devoted community.

Almost Maine brought in over $75,000 more than our budgeted goal and was generously supported by a grant from the Maine Office of Tourism, which allowed us to promote the show in rural areas of the state.

We brought our Mainstage to life, quite literally, during our production of Native Gardens with a set designed by Anita Stewart that included living plants and flowers! Native Gardens also marked our first foray into bringing our Mainstage shows online, and ticket holders were able to experience the production virtually in spite of our mid-production closure due to the pandemic.

Portland Stage creates our handcrafted productions from the ground up by combining the best local talent with professional artists from across the nation. Our Mainstage is the core of who we are and what we do. During the 2019-20 season, we received Mainstage show support from our longstanding corporate partners, Wright-Ryan, Migis Hotel Group, and L.L. Bean, we presented 145 Mainstage shows, and although the last two productions of our season were cancelled due to the pandemic, we continued expanding the reach of our programming through digital platforms.

The 2019-20 season was Portland Stage’s 46th consecutive year of Mainstage programming, and we kicked off Maine’s Bicentennial with our highest grossing production in the organization’s history: Almost, Maine by John Cariani.

MAINSTAGE

Three of our 2019-20 Mainstage productions focused on subject matter directly tied to our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts: Ain’t Misbehavin by Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller, which painted a vivid picture of the Harlem Renaissance through song; The Clean House by Sarah Ruhl, which addressed immigration and cross-cultural understanding; and Native Gardens by Karen Zacarias, which explored the expectations of neighbors navigating diversity.

NEW WORK

We hosted the 23rd Annual From Away international writers festival, featuring the work of playwright, director, and actor Gabriela Román Fuentes (Mexico), TV and fiction writer Samuel Menghesteab (Eritrea), and theater director and writer Chan Ping Chiu (Hong Kong).

Portland Stage promotes and celebrates the creation of new plays in New England. We establish an environment that supports our region’s playwrights, builds bridges between our theater and local writers, and raises awareness of our art form and the work being created in New England with our Studio Series workshops and readings, the Clauder Playwriting Competition, and the Little Festival of the Unexpected.

Our first ever Virtual Little Festival of the Unexpected was broadcast on Facebook Live and included readings of Perseverance, What Comes Next by Jonathan Spector, and Mariana’s Trench by Scott C. Sickles which was viewed over 1,000 times!

We held Perseverance,playwrightreadingsmultipleoflocalCallieKimball’sanewplaytimedtocoincidewiththe Women’s Suffrage Centennial including a reading during the “Suffrage Tea” hosted by Governor Janet T. Mills on Women’s Equality Day.

partneredWe with the Maine State Museum to create programming centered around Women’s Suffrage, and worked with 59 students over two days at the museum. Students toured the museum’s suffrage exhibit followed by an interactive Theatre for Social Change workshop inspired by elements of the exhibit.

EDUCATION

Education is central to the mission of Portland Stage, and we offer vital theater arts education for grades pre-K through high school through our In-Theater and In-School programming. All classes and workshops are taught by professionally trained Teaching Artists and focus on literacy, cultural awareness, imaginative problem-solving, collaborative play, and creative thinking.

During the pandemic and with our community staying safe at home, our Education team pivoted to online programming and created a variety of virtual education resources to continue engaging young people, families, teachers, and students. Resources included Facebook live-streaming of Play Me a Story Dramatic Readings, Tutorial Videos, Games to Play at Home, Follow-Along Videos, and other interactive activities.

During our Fall Afterschool Class, a group of 4th-6th graders wrote an original picture book titled Pugdog & Inky with illustrations by Nolan Ellsworth, Teaching Artist & Former Portland Stage Education Intern. The students performed the book at the end of class for a live audience as part of our Play Me a Story program.

2019, we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of our Theater for Kids storefront space and paid tribute to the amazing Susie Konkel for her continued leadership support of our Education Programs. The celebration featured special student performances, raffle items, and refreshments.

38 high school students attended our winter Playwriting Workshop with Almost, Maine playwright,

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPECIAL EVENTS

Following the opening night performance of Almost, Maine donors joined us in the lobby for a Meet & Greet with John Cariani and the cast, giving them the opportunity to chat with the artists face to face while enjoying a delicious spread from the Bread & Butter Catering Company.

We collaborated with inaugural poet Richard Blanco and members of our community to create a short film featuring his poem One Today which kicked off the Together in Maine campaign.

Portland Stage offers many points of entry for a diverse population, and plays a pivotal role in the life of our community by providing the experience of live theater - an experience which enlightens and adds insight into our world. Portland Stage promotes access to the theater through multiple channels, including Pay-WhatYou-Can performances, discounted Rush35 tickets for patrons 35 and under, subsidized Student Matinees, complimentary tickets for partner organizations, and now, by bringing our work online and making it available to audiences across the globe. Beyond our Mainstage productions, we engage audiences through discussions, new play readings, and Affiliate Artist events, many of which are free or pay-what-you-can.

For the third season in a row, we partnered with Pine Tree Society in offering an performanceinterpretedSignAmericanLanguageof our holiday production of It’s A Wonderful Life.

We began a partnership with the Theatre Development Fund to provide Open Captioning for one performance of each Mainstage production.

For the second season in a row, we received season-long support from WEX, Inc., our 2019-20 Community Engagement Partner.

Throughout the season, Portland Stage typically hosts several interactive and informative events that showcase different elements of the theater - from production, to new work, to education. Participants have the opportunity to meet staff and artists, often rubbing elbows with fellow supporters over wine and cheese, and attendees leave knowing more about how Portland Stage is accomplishing our mission of art, education, and community. Although our special events season was cut short due to the pandemic, we were still able to connect with our members in new and exciting ways.

We received a MarketingBicentennialGrantfrom the Maine Office of Tourism, which enabled us to promote our production of Almost, Maine and engage audiences in rural areas of the state and across New England, greatly expanding our typicalreach.marketing

Throughout the Together in Maine rolling online auction, we shared weekly videos featuring board members, staff and interns, and with the support of our corporate partners Pierce Atwood, Custom Float Services, and Spinnaker Trust, we raised over $50,000 in support of our Theater Artist Fund.

We continued our partnership with local language services firm, House of Languages to provide translations of synopses for all Mainstage productions in Arabic, French, and Portuguese.

In lieu of our annual Spring Gala, we pivoted to a virtual community engagement and fundraising campaign, Together in Maine, which included a six-week rolling online auction with items from local businesses.

Investing in Portland Stage makes a lasting difference in so many ways, especially during such a challenging and unpredictable time. The generosity of corporations, foundations, and individual donors alike enables us to surround the work on our Mainstage with education, new work development, and community engagement initiatives that deepen and broaden the impact of the shows themselves. Tax-deductible contributions keep Portland Stage a vital, relevant, inclusive and engaging theater, and ultimately, ensure the fulfillment of our mission and the enrichment of our community.

It takes a lot of hands and helpers to produce the exceptional work on our Mainstage, and Volunteers support Portland Stage in many ways. We are always looking for ushers, greeters, stitchers, and more, and all volunteers are encouraged to make as big or as small a time commitment as they can. We are eternally grateful to our 2019-20 Volunteers, many of whom have been donating their time and talent to Portland Stage for years!

“This internship has been formative to my development as both an aspiring director and a theater practitioner, and feel very fortunate to be returning in the same role for another season. was attracted to this internship because it allowed me to gain a more well-rounded understanding of all of the work it takes in every department to produce a show at a LORT theater. gained experience as a member of the technical crew, and am now more comfortable working with lights, sets, and costumes.

During such an unpredictable time for the theater community, Portland Stage has been a consistent source of support for those of us in the program. When the physical theater shut down productions in March, our intern coordinator began organizing weekly Zoom calls with theater practitioners from across the country. We heard from scenic designers, directors, educators, artistic directors, and stage managers. These professionals were willing to answer questions about their career paths and current positions, and provided excellent advice. The conversations helped expand our network, and illustrated how connected the staff at Portland Stage is to the national theater community.

Portland Stage is one of the few regional theaters committed to providing an internship, housing, and stipend. I am extremely grateful for the company’s dedication to mentoring the next generation of theater practitioners during such an unpredictable season.”

Portland Stage is committed to strengthening our staff and promoting a philosophy of continual, collaborative improvement. In working to develop effective methods of communication throughout all levels of the organization, our full-time staff meets regularly to assess and refine goals with a focus on professional development. Several current staff members are former Portland Stage interns: a clear demonstration of our belief in the importance of training and supporting future generations of theater professionals.

The goal of the Portland Stage Intern Program is to train the next generation of theater professionals through hands-on instruction in multiple theater disciplines and immersion in the systems and procedures of a working, professional theater company. The 2019-20 intern company received training in the areas of Carpentry, Company Management, Costumes/Wardrobe, Directing/Dramaturgy, Education, Electrics/Sound, and Stage Management.

Beth Koehler, Stage Management

In addition to gaining confidence in the different technical areas, the internship also strengthened my skills as an aspiring director with a particular interest in the development of new works. When Portland Stage pivoted to a virtual version of Little Festival of the Unexpected last spring, I was able to serve as an Assistant Director/Dramaturg for two of the three productions. I found it enlightening to watch the directors and playwrights engage with this new medium.

2020 IN HINDSIGHT

Between the opening of our Mainstage season in the fall of 2019 and our closure in March 2020, Portland Stage was positioned to have one of the most successful years in the organization’s 46-year history. Given all of the successes described in the preceding pages, and with three remaining shows lined up for the spring, we were well on our way to a record breaking year. However, in accordance with Governor Mills’ emergency proclamation, we closed our doors to the public from March 13 through the end of the season due to the pandemic. In the months that followed, our senior staff and board met virtually and frequently to ensure that Portland Stage would continue fulfilling our mission and serving our community.

Before closing our doors, we filmed our Mainstage production of Native Gardens and offered patrons the opportunity to stream the production online - a first for Portland Stage!

We dug into the oft changing rules of the Payroll Protection Program and secured a fully forgivable $225,000 loan, which allowed us to continue paying staff and artists to create online content and expand our virtual presence.

We continued to engage students throughout the spring and summer both virtually and safely in person, and in the Spring of 2020 alone, our virtual Education Program content reached over 34,000 views!

As the pandemic seismically changed our world, the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery confronted us with the unending issue of racism that has plagued our country since its founding. In mourning and in response, Portland Stage issued a statement of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and created an Ad Hoc Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee to begin our work in ensuring that we play a leadership role in our community’s commitment to anti-racism. At our Annual Meeting in June, we added this call to action to our Strategic Plan, and we will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with BIPOC artists, staff, board, audiences, students, teachers, and members of our community to say no more to white hate, no more to white indifference.

production staff kept storytelling alive through our weekly PS Stories from the Stage video series, sharing memories of their favorite on-stage and moments.backstage

When given the option to turn tickets for cancelled shows into tax-deductible contributions, over 80% of our subscribers stepped up and donated the value of their tickets back to the theater!

GOALS FOR THE COMING YEAR

We will find creative solutions to providing exceptional theatrical experiences during this pandemic and beyond in a fiscally responsible manner that supports our community, staff, and artists. We are committed to maintaining the vibrancy of our city and state through all of our programming - from the Mainstage productions at our core to our reimagined New Work and Education initiatives.

As we reflect on our 46th season and look ahead to celebrating our 50th in just a few years, Portland Stage recognizes the importance and urgency of making our theater and the work on our stages relevant and accessible to all members of our community - both in person and virtually. We acknowledge our role in the systemic racism prevalent in our country, and we commit to educating ourselves and inviting our community to join us as we learn to practice anti-racism.

With gratitude and hope,

Portland Stage remains committed to fulfilling our mission, and come what may, we will continue to search for better ways to engage our community with timely and relevant productions and programming. Now more than ever, we aim to make the theater more inviting and accessible, whether in person or online.

In reflecting on our accomplishments over the past year, I am overcome with pride and appreciation for our hardworking staff and artists. Portland Stage started out our 2019-20 season stronger than ever, and in spite of the pandemic, we continued to serve our community during some of the most challenging months ever faced as an organization, as a community, and as a nation.
