SUPPORTING PORTLAND STAGE<br />

Investing in Portland Stage makes a lasting difference in so many ways. The generosity of corporations, foundations,<br />

and individual donors alike enables us to surround the work on our Mainstage with education, new work development,<br />

and community engagement initiatives that deepen and broaden the impact of the shows themselves. Tax-deductible<br />

contributions keep Portland Stage a vital, relevant, inclusive, and engaging theater, and ultimately, ensure the<br />

fulfillment of our mission and the enrichment of our community.<br />

Donor Spotlight:<br />

Kristin & Ken Conant<br />

“We have been season ticket holders<br />

and supporters of Portland Stage for ten<br />

years. We like to support the arts, and<br />

Portland Stage goes beyond just producing<br />

a show. We have connected with Portland<br />

Stage’s emphasis on thought-provoking<br />

shows, talented actors, and behind-thescenes<br />

support that has been remarkable.<br />

We really like the initiative for the next<br />

generation by making education a priority<br />

for so many students.”<br />

“Last season, all the<br />

shows were great, and The<br />

Niceties was the most memorable.<br />

The points and counterpoints about<br />

privilege and social justice were very<br />

eye opening. Two strong actresses<br />

gave believable accounts from their<br />

perspective, and it was so easy to see<br />

their respective points of view<br />

during the show.”<br />
