Class List for Winter 2010 available now
Theater and Business classes at Portland Center Stage offer unique theater training and related studies for people at all degrees of involvement with the living stage. Our courses are taught by exceptional teachers drawn from Portland’s diverse community of talented professionals, many of whom are familiar to you from PCS’s productions and programs. Improve your presentation and communication skills by enrolling in our Art of Business sequence, or unleash your inner dramatist by joining a Playwriting course. Take the stage in one of our Acting classes, or delve into dramatic literature with a Mastering Musicals course. Whether you’re honing skills you already have or nurturing new ones, PCS has a class for you.

Prologues and Q&A’s {FREE}
PCS Prologues are free, pre-performance introductions to the plays led by PCS staff members and associates. Join us on most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:50-7:10 pm. Prologues will be held in the back of the Main Stage auditorium and are available for Main Stage productions only.
Q&As are informal conversations with the cast and PCS staff about the production, following every Thursday noon matinee performance. Please note, there will be no Q&As for A Christmas Carol.
Resource Guides {FREE}
Resource guides for each production are available for downloading through this web site (just click on each link below). Each guide includes character descriptions, a synopsis and other relevant information of use to educators, students and interested patrons. For previous year’s guides, please call 503-445-3793.
