Summer PATA Gathering at Portland Center Stage: A Celebration of Our Community and the Full Moon!
PATA members old and new came out to the beautiful Portland Center Stage on July 21, to celebrate summer and our vibrant theatre community.
Actors, playwrights, directors, producers, visual arts people, and tech folks enjoyed delicious food from McMenamins and CostCo. Gigantic Brewing donated all sorts of sumptuous ales, and Willamette Wines gave us Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, plus a raffle prize of a private wine tour.
Our emcee for the evening, Harrison Butler, Vice President of PATA, welcomed about 100 people and Ann Singer, Membership Chair, announced winners of the door prizes and raffle. All funds raised went to support PATA’s Valentine fund: a way to financially help local theatre people through a difficult time.
Door prizes included tickets and popcorn from Hollywood Theatre and a free cut and style from Cheryl Dienes at Aspen Salon. Raffle prizes were tickets to Project Pabst, The Decemberists, Portland Opera’s Falstaff, and this season’s Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Thanks to all our donors and benefactors!!
We plan more of these free community gatherings so keep a look-out for the next date and come out to party!
