Mission

CoHo Productions provides critical theatrical opportunities to low-income and underserved artists in Portland through our Resource Center and Co-Production model. We bring people of all backgrounds together into a theatre community where everyone has equal access to artistic production, dramatically enriching the artistic landscape of our city.

Vision

CoHo believes in people’s right to participate in the world creatively, subversively, and autonomously. We believe that when this is done in community and with sustained support, our connections and resilience are strengthened in the face of our regularly programmed isolation and everyday struggle. We aspire to create a sustainable hub for Portland artists and community leaders to collaborate, share skills, and complete their projects. We want people of all income levels to feel welcomed and truly uplifted by our services to create their original work and share it with the world. We believe that this will diversify the kind of art people have access to, bringing us into more intimate connection and genuine awareness of one another’s experiences. We can do more authentic social problem-solving, community-building, and personal growth when we can all freely express ourselves.
