In-Person Safety Protocols

In-person programming will follow protocols based on the latest CDC guidelines and is subject to change. Portland Stage utilizes a Bipolar Ionization iWave HVAC system throughout our facilities. Our current policy states that if Cumberland County community level is designated as “low” by the CDC, masks will be optional. If the designation is “medium” or “high” masks will be required.

Education For All

Portland Stage Education strives to welcome and celebrate all people regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, national origin, religion, gender identity, neurological, or physical ability.
