Dear Portland Theatre Community,  If you’re passionate about the local theatre community, we need your help!  The Portland Area Theatre Alliance (PATA) is actively looking for individuals to join our Board of Directors. Our programs include the Citywide General Auditions, the Unified Shakespeare & Classical Auditions, the Fertile Ground Festival of New Works and the Valentine Fund. As a member-based organization, PATA supports and celebrates our region’s vibrant theatre community by fostering opportunity, innovation, and collaboration.  We are currently looking to fill five board member openings. Board members serve a two-year term with a commitment to attend a monthly virtual board meeting and participate in one of our PATA committees. Individuals with experience in accounting, fundraising, marketing, grant writing and/or public administration are highly encouraged to apply. While having board members with experience in these areas is beneficial to PATA, it is not a requirement, and we encourage all members of our theatre community to apply, regardless of experience.  For more information about PATA, please visit our website at portlandtheatre.com. Questions regarding Board membership may be directed to either Matthew Miller, Board President, via email at matthew@portlandtheatre.com or you may reach out to our Office Administrator via phone at 503-449-6270 or via email at info@portlandtheatre.com.  Sincerely,
Matthew Miller
Board President
It's time!! Actor registration for PATA's Citywide General Auditions opens tomorrow, February 27th, at 10am.  We're doing things a bit differently this year in that we will be assigning times after everyone registers, as opposed to having you sign up for a specific time slot. Which means you don't need to worry about being on your computer right at 10am to snag a spot. However, we do recommend signing up as soon as possible since space is still limited.  This will be our first in-person CGAs since 2019 - we're excited to be back and hope you'll bear with us as we work out the kinks!  Link to registration in bio!  P.S. Auditor registration will open next week!
Unified Shakespeare & Classical Auditions are tomorrow! Click the link in our bio to get registered before it's too late. ⏰

PATA is in need of a few more volunteers to help at the Unified Shakespeare and Classical Auditions this Saturday, February 3rd at Hillsboro Artists' Regional Theatre.  Volunteers will help with check-in and managing timing and flow. Volunteer shifts are 3.5 hours long (9:30-1 or 1-4:30). If you are able to help out for a shorter period, that would also be appreciated! Just email info@portlandtheatre.com and let us know when you can join us.  Actors who are planning to audition are welcome to volunteer before or after their audition time. Light refreshments will be provided.  Sign up to volunteer at the link in our bio!
