Support Radiant Theatre
The mission of Radiant Theatre Productions is to perform old plays in
new ways! We strive to bring the audience happiness in surprising
ways; to bring the wonderment and amazingness of the heavens to earth
in a sacred theatre space; to exude confidence by displaying frailty; to
bring and share the love which is so abundant and yet sometimes hidden
or forgotten in today's world by putting on theatrical performances and
teaching theatre.
We plan to provide the community with:
acting and mask classes for self-esteem and collaboration through
theatre
acting opportunities for minorities and differently-abled communities
performances for low-income families
an outlet for the plethora of talent in Portland
innovative new plays, old classics, children’s puppet shows and musicals
Last year Radiant Theatre birthed into existence by producing the
medieval morality play, Everyman in which we gave the audience the
experience of their lives by getting them up on stage one by one and
playing the title role-facing death and pondering and working at how to
avoid it. Since then we have done the critically acclaimed 1968
Tribal Rock Musical HAiR (called “deliciously infectious” by The
Oregonian), Sam Beckett’s Waiting For Godot, a number of clown
shows and Emergence: Portland’s First Annual Women Playwrights
Festival in which we featured six plays by Portland women never before
seen in public before. Future shows include Hamlet, Jesus Christ
Superstar and new works of physical theatre which comment on current
world issues.
We have the vision to direct amazing theatre--to embrace the audience and
the players into one--to have everyone come out of their experience
more whole and better people. We want theatre to affect people. This
is why we do it. Our estimated budget on our current show is $10,000 and
we're already over halfway there. We are now seeking tax-deductible
donations to Radiant Theatre Productions to pay for renting theatre
space in Portland. From $1 to $1,000, every penny is valuable, so
anything you would be willing to donate for the cause would be
wonderful. Checks can be made out to Radiant Theatre Productions and
sent to 6629 SE Rhone St., Portland, OR 97206. Thank you so much!
