Gala

Together, we raised an amazing $315,000 in support!
This year's gala was held in celebration of the life of Diana Gerding who, along with her husband Bob Gerding, was one of the most influential people in the history of Portland Center Stage. As a board member, Diana not only offered her sage counsel to the theater, she also demonstrated deep personal commitment to our artists and staff, and she was beloved by all in return. We look forward to honoring her on this special evening.

The 2021 gala may be over, but you can still make a gift to celebrate the theater you love! As we look toward reopening for the 2021-2022 Season, any contribution you make now will support the investments required to go back into production. Your support will ensure a bright, bold future for PCS.
Please join us as we work toward making a beautiful world — on and off stage — a reality. Let’s soar together!
