Portland Actors Ensemble: A year of rest

As one of the longest-operating theatre groups in Oregon, Portland Actors Ensemble is spending this pandemic time in deep contemplation regarding how as an organization we can better serve our entire community.

Keep watching this page: throughout 2021 we’ll be providing updates on our shifts to greater racial and social equity. Art has the power to transform lives and we believe that Portland Actors Ensemble can be part of the solution.
