Profile Theatre is a Portland, Oregon-based performing arts organization that structures its annual season around a single master writer. The approach aims to broaden audiences' worldviews and deepen collective compassion by presenting high-quality productions alongside community-facing programming. The organization's signature initiatives include a main stage, In Dialogue lectures and concert stagings, Community Profile writing networks, and a Playwright's Residency that embeds the writer in the theatre and connects them with Portland patrons and artists. Through this model, the company positions itself as a specialist in artist-driven theatre that blends production, dialogue, and community engagement. A recent development includes the 2020 release of Claudia, A Viral Love Story, a five-part audio play.
