Immigrant & Refugee Urban Tellers®
 This fall, Portland Story Theater will be producing another storytelling workshop and performance featuring the real, true stories of immigrants and refugees. This work is aligned with our mission and our beliefs. The focus of the program is to humanize and build connection within our urban community. We want to hear from you. Contact us if you are an immigrant or refugee who is interested in telling a personal story, and also help us spread the word to everyone you know who might be interested in this opportunity. As of today, we have three (3) spaces left for our workshop, which launches on Wednesday, October 11, 2017. View our invitations to get the details and then contact us!
This program is made possible in part by the generous support of
 The Collins Foundation and  The Oregon Cultural Trust. Thank you! |

In The Community
 Due to the amazing response to our Urban Tellers® Immigrant & Refugee Edition last April, The Old Church has invited a few of Portland Story Theater's storytellers from that group to be a part of their program, WE CAN LISTEN. This program is about immigrants and includes: Zahra Akubar, Philip Lund, Lily Ningsih-Waldman, Fernando Lopez Garcia, and Eva Rotter-Johnson. This WE CAN LISTEN event happens at The Old Church at 7pm this Tuesday, June 13, and will be hosted by Grammy-nominated recording artist, Julianne R. Johnson. |
