James Beaton
James is delighted to return to Portland Center Stage as music director for the fourth time. After recording and touring internationally with 90’s rock band Everclear and the Jeff Trott Band, James co-founded the punk cabaret act The Balls with Storm Large. The two have collaborated since 2002, pushing boundaries with symphonies, musical theater, and decades of touring. James also creates new and strange arrangements for Puddles Pity Party and produces the annual Bring Out Your Dead concerts. As a kid from the Bronx, he finds this all pretty surprising and amazing.
