Experience the Portland Theatre Brigade
Make way for the Portland Theatre Brigade! Make way!
So begins every performance, by this group of vibrant young people who act, joke, shout, move, drum, and dance their way through stories bringing laughter and inspiration.
The Brigade presents collections of short plays. The young members find folk stories from around the world, and then write scripts adapting them to the stage. Each play is performed in a unique style - scripted, improvised, danced, sung, and each filled with zany and touching characters.
Plays
Our young members select, write and perform a collection of global stories every year.
Performances in Schools
We perform and provide workshops in schools and other community venues every spring, often at no cost to them.
Tickets
We sell tickets to theatre performances every spring. Tickets will go on sale soon - subscribe to our mailing list to be updated.
Members
Our young members serve as the writers, actors and stage managers while holding other professional responsibilities.
