About Portland Story Theater. Portlanders are passionate about stories. And live theater, and shared experiences. Portland Story Theater shares this passion. We use a unique collaborative approach to create shows where people perform stories drawn from real-life experiences.
Portland Story Theater offers a workshop series,
The Art of Personal Narrative, that gives people an opportunity to discover and craft their stories so that they flow through them, seamlessly in their true form, without any barriers: open, fresh, revealing.The workshop culminates in a showcase called
Urban Tellers. It's not acting. It's not writing. There's no script. This is narrative, spoken straight from the heart. Real. True. Stories.
