PATA Programs

PATA is proud to offer the following programs to our members and the theatre community at large.

General Auditions

Once a year, PATA organizes general city-wide auditions for performers in the Portland Area. These auditions are open to all PATA members, allowing actors, singers and dancers to be seen by more than 60 producing companies over the course of 3 days.

Fertile Ground

Fertile Ground is  a 10-day arts festival featuring new works by LOCAL artists including world premiere projects, staged readings, developing works and a myriad of other arts events from the Portland creative community.

Valentine Fund

Established in 1987, the Valentine Fund provides financial assistance to members of the Portland-area theatre community in times of medical or personal emergency.

We have partnered with a company called Switchboard to connect Portland theatre artists and simplify online communication in the Portland theatre community.  On our PATA Switchboard site, you can ASK for what you need, or OFFER what you have to other members of the theatre community...kind of like Craigslist for artists!
