Spring 2025 at Portland Center Stage is a celebration of bold storytelling, complex characters, and innovative artistry. With six compelling productions, this season offers a diverse and thought-provoking lineup that promises to captivate audiences of all kinds.

Mrs. Harrison (January 19 - February 16, 2025)

Written by R. Eric Thomas and directed by Tiffany Nichole Greene, Mrs. Harrison is a tense and thrilling showdown between two former college classmates at their ten-year reunion. Aisha, a successful Black playwright, and Holly, a struggling white comedian, confront each other over a tragic event from their past. Who owns the story, and whose truth matters most?

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (March 2–30, 2025)

Edward Albee’s iconic masterpiece returns under the direction of Marissa Wolf. This razor-sharp dark comedy dissects marriage and ambition with biting humor and emotional depth. George and Martha’s infamous dinner party spirals into chaos as secrets are revealed and relationships are tested.

The Light (March 9–April 20, 2025)

Loy A. Webb’s The Light, directed by Chip Miller, is a deeply personal love story set against the backdrop of political reckoning. What begins as a romantic proposal turns into a revealing conversation about justice, trust, and the resilience of love.

The Brothers Size (April 20–May 18, 2025)

From the mind of Academy Award winner Tarell Alvin McCraney (Moonlight), this stirring drama explores brotherhood, redemption, and stories from the Yoruban cosmology. Directed and choreographed by Chip Miller, The Brothers Size is a poetic journey through the Louisiana Bayou that blends the everyday with the mystical.

Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson (May 11–June 22, 2025)

In this hilarious one-person show, Chris Grace explores the bounds of identity and art with a pile of wigs and sharp wit. A co-production with Boom Arts, this comedic farce is a biting exploration of Hollywood and cultural appropriation that will leave you laughing out loud and thinking long after the curtain falls.

The Importance of Being Earnest (June 1–29, 2025)

Oscar Wilde’s timeless satire gets a fresh, world-premiere adaptation by Kamilah Bush, directed by Josiah Davis. Full of wit, whimsy, and Wilde’s signature charm, this reimagined classic brings new life to a story of double lives, mistaken identities, and outrageous romance.

Portland Center Stage’s spring lineup offers a rich tapestry of theatrical experiences — from laugh-out-loud comedy to thought-provoking drama. Don’t miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in these unforgettable stories.
