About Radiant Theatre Productions
Mission:
Our mission is to do old plays in new ways and to provide new plays about oppressed peoples around the world. We wish to illuminate the audience with shining performances and open minds to our interconnectedness with one another. With physical theatre and luminescent style we spread the warmth of love to everyone involved. As theatre is a sacred ritual to us, we will spread our glow outward beyond our primary audience: the Portland, Oregon community.
History:
