Organizations such as Oregon

the deeply discounted tickets.

"The performing arts nourish our
soul and are an important part of the
shared culture for any community,
but especially ours,” says Mayor
Sam Adams. ‘‘Participating in the
arts shouldn't be out of reach for
Portlanders struggling through
these hard times - whether that's
living on a fixed income, struggling
through underemployment or the
loss of a steady job. My apprecia­
tion goes out to the Portland arts
organizations that have stepped up
to make this program happen."
