Shaking the Scene: Their New Season Proves that Shaking The Tree is Portland’s Most Daring Theater Company -Robert Ham, Portland Mercury
We have great news to share!
2019 started out with an amazing and much needed gift!
Shaking the Tree recently received a $98,000 three-year capacity building grant from the Miller Foundation, in Portland, Oregon.
This is a huge deal, because as many in the community know, Shaking the Tree has been a one woman operation since its inception in 2003. The company has grown organically and intentionally, and has a cadre of many valuable collaborators, but has now reached a point where we're ready for the next level of expansion!
The capacity building grant will allow us to hire key staff members to assist in the running of daily operations, as well as the growth of Shaking the Tree’s education program, and the enhancement of StT’s rental offerings to the community.
Please join us in welcoming Natasha Stockem (General Manager), Ted Gold (Technical Director), and Pat Moran (Education Director) to Shaking the Tree’s staff.
