A double-bill featuring Profile Theatre and Artists Repertory Theatre’s current mentorship programs:

Community Profile (Profile Theatre) offers an affinity space, organized around writing workshops led by industry professionals. For its current season, The American Generation, Community Profile’s cohort identify as writers and mentors with a personal relationship to the immigration/first generation experience. 

PATHWAYS (a collaboration between ART and Advancing Gender Equity in the Arts) is a holistic mentorship program for emerging gender-diverseBIPOC theatre artists. 

Community Profile offers “Life at the Edges” –  five new 10-minute plays or excerpts by its current cohort, with themes ranging from the existential to the extra-terrestrial.

The PATHWAYS cohort presents WILD/CAUGHT – in a salmon cannery in the Astoria waterfront, the assembly line transforms into a raging current of revolution for multiple generations of women migrant workers. As the women band together, their journey shines a spotlight on  the hidden histories of exploitation and invisible labor that affect us to this day as well as the scars that industrialism has left on our environment.
