The Arts and Judaism have been intrinsically linked since the beginning of time. There are an overwhelming number of Jews creating or performing in the areas of music, visual arts, creative writing, dance and theater. And if they’re not performing, they are attending and supporting! Culture has always been one of the pillars of Judaism that helps to weave together the colorful tapestry of Jewish life and bring communities together.

Artists Rep – for the culturally adventurous person who values the thrill of theatrical discovery! As Portland’s longest-running professional theatre company for the past three decades, Artists Rep has made a name for itself offering adventurous plays – comedies, dramas and musicals alike – that are supremely entertaining, thoughtful and provocative. Next season includes outrageous comedies and nail-biting dramas and stage realism alongside theatrically heightened parables or satires, plus the deceptively simple followed by the psychologically complex.
