This is what happens when you hand a kid a stage. Our summer campers took on William Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST: A Tropical Romance, adapted by Don Wilson Glenn, and built the ship to go with it. 🚢 That ship is still on display in the gallery at The Old Church Concert Hall. Camp may be over, but what these young people made is still standing.📸: JACQUE ***#PassinArt #TheatreInDiaspora #TheTempest #BlackTheatre #PortlandTheatre … See MoreSee Less

The camp runway was giving main character energy. ✨ These young performers spent the summer bringing William Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST: A Tropical Romance to life, adapted by Don Wilson Glenn. And the ship? They built it themselves. It’s on display right now in the gallery at The Old Church Concert Hall.📸: JACQUE ***#PassinArt #TheatreInDiaspora #TheTempest #PortlandTheatre #BlackTheatre … See MoreSee Less

Look at all of this.Forty-four years of stories about the Black experience, told on Oregon stages by people who believed they mattered. Our co-founders started PassinArt in 1982 with that conviction and not much else. We’re the longest-producing African American theatre company in the state because of what they built and because of everyone who has walked through our doors since.Every photo here is somebody’s first audition, somebody’s last bow, somebody’s Tuesday night rehearsal that changed everything.Thank you for being part of it. Your support keeps the lights on and the legacy moving forward.***#PassinArt #BlackTheatre #PortlandOregon #AlbinaArtsCenter #CommunityTheatre … See MoreSee Less
