Cabaret A Hit in Rochester: This January, Cabaret, directed by Chris Coleman, traveled cross-country to Rochester, NY's Geva Theatre. The show and the cast were a huge hit. Here are a couple of stories/photo albums to commemorate the event.

Hop in Chris Coleman's Carry-On When was the last time you visited the Big Apple with a tour guide who happens to be Artistic Director for one of the greatest regional theaters in the country?

The First Ever Visions & Voices Playwrights' Slam, starring the playwrights of Cleveland High School: On February 18th, Portland Center Stage is producing our first ever Visions & Voices Playwrights' Slam.
