The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

A double-bill featuring Profile Theatre and Artists Repertory Theatre’s current mentorship programs.

Community Profile offers “Life at the Edges” —  five new 10-minute plays or excerpts by its current cohort, with themes ranging from the existential to the extra-terrestrial.

The PATHWAYS cohort presents WILD/CAUGHT — in a salmon cannery in the Astoria waterfront, the assembly line transforms into a raging current of revolution for multiple generations of women migrant workers. As the women band together, their journey shines a spotlight on  the hidden histories of exploitation and invisible labor that affect us to this day as well as the scars that industrialism has left on our environment.

Community Profile (Profile Theatre) offers an affinity space organized around writing workshops led by industry professionals. For its current season, The American Generation, Community Profile’s cohort identifies as writers and mentors with a personal relationship to the immigration/first-generation experience. 

PATHWAYS (a collaboration between ART and Advancing Gender Equity in the Arts) is a holistic mentorship program for emerging gender-diverse BIPOC theater artists.
