BroadArts Visionary Salons in Portland Neighborhoods

Want to create our future and change the world with BroadArts?

You can! BroadArts Theatre, Portland's award-wining, original musical theatre company, with the support of a community-building grant from the Vision Into Action project of the City of Portland, is creating five BroadArts Visionary Salons - discussions, presentations and theatrics- with local leaders, activists and visionaries, honing in on fashioning the future we want for Portland.**
** (as reflected in the Portland 2030 Vision plan endorsed by City Council)

Please join BroadArts along with twenty extraordinary women and two terrific men, community organizers, neighbors, artists and friends at the BroadArts Visionary Salons. Each Salon features four speakers of diverse experience, tradition and organizational affinity. Interspersed are songs and monologues performed by BroadArts Theatre, illuminating the issues and topics of the speakers. After the speakers, BroadArts initiates the conversation between you, the audience and community speakers about how we each personally and organizationally contribute to a better future for Portland and in our world.

It's fun! It's informative! It's active! You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll meet girls! And there is a quiz! (and prizes!)

Each Salon event is free and open to the public: BroadArts staff and volunteers will also provide limited children's activities during the Salons.

For more information or to volunteer, call BroadArts at 503-288-5181 or contact us at BroadArts@aol.com or on the web.
