Profile Theatre

Founded in 1997, Profile Theatre is one of the oldest continuously operating theaters in Oregon, and one of only three theaters in the country to take a deep dive into the bodies of work of contemporary playwrights. Every two years, Profile Theatre selects two mid-career writers and centers two years of programming around them, with productions of older plays, newer plays and world premieres and commissions. In so doing, Profile Theatre accords its audience, community and staff unparalleled access into the work and worldview of some of the most exciting and accomplished writers of our time. 

Profile Theatre staff will have the opportunity to work closely with playwrights and other artists of national repute, alongside some of the most talented artists in the Portland metro area. Recent Featured Playwrights have included Kristoffer Diaz, Lauren Yee, christopher oscar peña, Paula Vogel and Lisa Kron, among others.

Profile Theatre centers diversity, equity, inclusion and access in all of its activities and programming. Profile is committed to building a diverse and inclusive organization and strongly encourages women, trans, non-binary, BIPOC and people from other historically excluded populations to apply, regardless of whether they meet every single qualification.
