About Us

Who we are

Live On Stage is a small but integral part of Portland’s rich and vibrant theatre community. We are composed of artists, audience members and arts advocates dedicated to developing new opportunities for our amazing local talent. Together we work to build new appreciation for the arts in Portland and the surrounding communities through live performances and programming.


Vision

Live On Stage is grounded in a grand vision: A vibrant, active and expanding theatre community; musical theatre that attracts and embraces broad audiences; a stellar network for the development of professional theatre artists; an arts community in Portland that is active, dynamic and constantly evolving. We will inspire those new to live theatre performance -- and those more experienced -- by providing opportunities to learn, grow, perform and experience live productions. Through it all, we’ll be true to the music, true to the artists, true to the audiences and true to everything that is grand about being a part of theatre that is Live On Stage.


Mission

Live On Stage actively advances the education and development of performing artist in the community and the enjoyment of live theatre.
