Dear Friends,
It’s been a year of many accomplishments for Portland Stage. We’d like to take this opportunity to share some of them with you – and to thank you for your support. Some of the projects that your investment has made possible are:
- Production of the best-selling play in our 42 year history - Development of a new website - Restoration of our historic building’s façade

ouR SEaSoNIS SElEcTEDBy REaDINg
Creating a live theater production is a process that requires careful deliberation and a critical eye. From selecting a play that will resonate for our community, to dissecting the audience reaction during a preview performance and shaping the production in response, the process is one of learning, analyzing and growing. We have a sense of direction dictated by the script, but it is through the process of collaborative creation that we find the truth of the story, our life revealed.
This year, two pieces of the artful transition are beginning. Through The Jamie Higgins Education Endowment, we are building a legacy to support and sustain our education programs so that they can shape and build creative thinkers for generations to come. The second transitional element is the Infrastructure Project designed to provide Portland Stage the tools it needs by upgrading our communication and internal systems in order to meet the needs of the theater and the next generation of audience.
Bringing a play to life is challenging. With every production, every creative process, you seek the most impactful way to communicate with an audience, and when you do it well, the result is palpable. The process of the “artful transition” is similar—Portland Stage is looking for the most impactful ways to engage with our community and we know that from working together, we will create magic. Thank you for supporting great theater in Maine.
Portland Stage itself is in the midst of an “artful transition” that requires the same careful deliberation and critical eye that we bring to our individual productions. We have always worked to make our productions and programs the best they can be. They, along with our mission, create our script, our sense of direction. As we look to the future, it is clear that the next part of our story will be to discover how to reach out and share the positive impact that our productions and programs have on our community and, in turn, to learn more fully what our community needs from Portland Stage.
our work engages, connects and builds understanding. Through the intimate, personal exchanges that happen through live theater and hands-on programs, we help to shape our community and build greater understanding of the “other.” We interpret and share stories from around the world to better understand ourselves and our place in the world.

Vision for the future
our Values
As a leading arts institution in our state, Portland Stage is a hub of creative activity. Our community takes pride in the theater and actively engages in its wide range of first-rate productions and transformative programs. Our nationally known, innovative education programs are built with the same rigor as our professional productions. Acknowledged as a gem by the field, our productions attract outstanding artists as well as a diverse audience, while our artistic programs incubate new work and inspire new artists. Our open and inviting building allows artists and audiences to connect around the work which is relevant to the community in which we live and sparks discussion and dialogue. We have strong financial underpinnings, an effective staff and Board which allow continued innovation and improvement. We are transparent in our objectives and collaborate with other like-minded institutions.
our work is created in our community for our community. Building productions from the ground up, we combine the best local talent with artists from around the nation bringing our community into the process and building lasting relationships as a result. Our artists actively engage with students and the broader community.
our work is always evolving to stay relevant. We are entrepreneurs, innovating, asking questions, cultivating and incubating. From artists to audience, from long time subscribers to interns and students, our productions, as well as our education and artistic programs, continually evolve to meet the needs of our constituents, thus remaining relevant to our community.

what audiences are Saying
As a hub for theater activity in Maine, our productions and programs allow for multiple points of entry for potential audiences. We have weathered some financial challenges over the past year, but have been able to use our strengths and some new opportunities to re-inforce our leadership position. With a new strategic plan and the support of the community, Portland Stage is looking to the future.

“Incredible show on par with New York stage productions! Thanks to everyone who made it possible.”
looking to the future
Portland Stage has a history of offering powerful theater experiences for our audiences. Our committment to artistic development and creating new work has been a driving force behind programs such as the clauder competition and little festival of the unexpected.

“The talk backs were very well organized and one of my favorite parts about doing the festival. It is always great to discover what someone hearing a play for the first time discovers for themselves. I felt that the questions asked in all of the reading’s talk backs were very well associated to the needs of the playwright. “
