"One of the most thoughtful and constantly inventive theater spaces in the city, Shaking the Tree always produces works that must be discussed afterward…" -Suzette Smith, Portland Mercury
"What makes Shaking the Tree one of the gutsiest production companies in the city is Van Der Merwe's ability to look straight at enshrined notions about what theater can or should be and tell them to go to hell." -Bennett Campbell Ferguson, Willamette Week
"I've written this before, but the reason I think Shaking the Tree is the most interesting theatre in Portland is because they don't let you off the hook, ever, not for a single moment. As soon as you enter the theatre, you're in it without a safety net." -Krista Garver, Broadway World

Shaking the Tree was founded in 2003 as an art and drama studio for kids. Since then it has grown a small professional theatre company, vital to Portland's fabric. Supporters like YOU have kept us thriving, and it is our goal to continue to do so, perhaps for another 20 years, or longer! Your donation will make a huge impact on our work and what we are able to offer, so don't hesitate in helping us reach out end of the year goal of $20,000. There are many ways to give.
You can donate a gift to our wedding Registry, so that you know exactly where your dollars are going, or you can make a donation to our general fund, which will support our productions and make it's way into the pockets of the artists we hire. Donate today and help us reach our goal. |
