East Shore Arts is thrilled to introduce The Portland Theater Festival (PTF), a brand new, annual summer season of bold, inclusive and exceptional professional theater located in the heart of Portland. PTF is a new theater for a new generation of Portland, striving through its productions and educational programming to reflect the diverse landscape of Portland's growing culture and community. Join us this summer from mid-July through Labor Day for three exciting productions from some of today's most urgent voices: "Body Awareness" by Annie Baker (directed by Sally Wood); "Pass Over" by Antoinette Nwandu (directed by Bari Robinson); and "Pony" by Sylvan Oswald (directed by Jess Barbagallo). All performances will be held at Mayo Street Arts in East Bayside and a second, site-specific venue TBD. Our performance venues are deliberately intimate settings, designed to encourage audiences towards a more mindful, empathetic, and harmonized community in Maine and beyond.
