Production Job Fair 2022
Portland Center Stage seeks technicians from all theatrical backgrounds to fill overhire positions in the 2022-2023 season. In order to facilitate this need and to meet new technicians to the Portland area, we are hosting a job fair at The Armory in NW Portland. This is an opportunity for ALL theater technicians to come meet department heads and managers! We especially encourage attendance by people who have relocated to Portland in the past couple of years who we may have never met.
Additional theater companies — including Artists Repertory Theatre, Bag & Baggage Productions, Broadway Rose Theatre Company, Oregon Children's Theatre, Portland Opera, Portland Playhouse, Profile Theatre, and Third Rail Repertory Theatre — will also be present to meet electricians, stitchers, carpenters, stage managers, deck crew, props artisans, painters, audio engineers, welders, wig craftspeople, and ALL other theatrical disciplines.
Just bring a few copies of your resume to share, and be prepared to chat a bit about yourself!
PCS hires over 60 overhire employees a year for a variety of different contract lengths and tasks. We’d love to meet new people who have never worked with us before and reconnect with folks who are old friends.

Current & Upcoming
Piano Bar with Courtney Freed and David Saffert
Join us for this monthly event with local songstress Courtney Freed and Portland-based pianist David Saffert as they host a good old-fashioned PIANO BAR.
NASSIM
From Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour (creator of the Off-Broadway smash hit White Rabbit, Red Rabbit) comes an audacious new theatrical experiment, presented in collaboration with Boom Arts. Each night, a new, unrehearsed local performer joins the playwright on stage, while the script waits, unseen, in a sealed box... Touchingly autobiographical yet powerfully universal, NASSIM is a striking theatrical demonstration of how language can both divide and unite us.
Coriolanus
Shakespeare’s tragedy about the war hero Coriolanus and the fight between the elite and the deprived masses will be fueled by a dynamic female and non-binary ensemble with a muscular, movement-focused staging.
First Annual 503 Day
Portland's first annual 503 Day. Discounts on tickets, drink specials, and more!
Pre-Show Music with Chera Chera
As part of BIPOC Affinity Night for Nassim, join us for a pre-show music performance featuring Chera Chera, blending Iranian music and Farsi lyrics for the matinee crowds.
