Established in 1989 by Donald Horn, triangle productions! has enjoyed a unique niche in the arts landscape of Oregon by producing rich stories told through diverse perspectives, particularly the gay perspective. triangle is one of the oldest theater companies in the Portland metro area and one the oldest LGBTQ-identified theatres in the US. Using the company’s mission, material is chosen to promote diversity and acceptance, striving to bring relevant issues to a theatrical setting allowing the audience to be both entertained and educated. The theatre deeply values both artists and audience members equally, ensuring that each feels included and that every show embodies a core of truth and humanity. Throughout the company’s history, it has staged over 250 productions and has brought professional, entertaining, and provocative theatre dealing with a wide variety of issues such as AIDS, drug addiction, homophobia, abortion, acceptance, racism, and individuality. The company has been recognized by 90 nominations or wins for its productions from Best Production (I Love You-You’re Perfect-Now Change) to Best Songs (“Perverts” and “You’ll Be Fine” from ’69 – the sexual revolution musical).
