Portland Center Stage finds a kindred spirit in the June Key Delta Community Center
Mandy Hamilton (Group Sales and Promotions Manager) and I recently sat down with PCS board member Evie Crowell and Chris Poole-Jones to talk about possible partnerships between the Portland Alumnae Chapter of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. With Oklahoma! cast member Sumayya Ali as an alumna, we wanted to explore the idea of having an event or reception in conjunction with the show. What we didn’t expect was to find so many connections between our two organizations. Check out all of these newly-discovered connections (beyond our sweet cast member Sumayya!):
- Evie not only sits on both organizations' boards, she is member of PCS’s Education & Community Programs Committee and the Arts and Letters Committee for the Deltas.
- The Deltas recently held a ribbon cutting (the photo above shows the Deltas with our Mayor Sam Adams cutting the ribbon) for their new June Key Delta Community Center, a “living green building” dedicated to environmental stewardship. PCS moved into the wolrd’s first Platinum Leed/Historical Renovation Performing Arts Center, the Gerding Theater at the Portland Armory, about six years ago.
-
The mission of the Deltas includes community projects for the public good in many areas including educational development and arts and letters. Education & Community Programs at PCS are committed to providing high quality education & community programs that inspire connections with theater and the arts, sustainability, history and community.
- The June Key Delta Community Center will be available for short term rental to community organizations, networks and individuals who may desire to host events at their facility, something we also do here at PCS.
We are excited to host the Deltas at OKLAHOMA! on October 23 and wish them the best of luck in their new “Living Green Building." Click here to learn more about their June Key Delta Community Center project and how you can help.
You can also find out about their First Annual Fall Fundraiser on October 2, an early evening affair with music, cocktails and hors d'oeurves, by following the link above. Break-A-Leg Deltas!
