The Portland-grown Fertile Ground Citywide
Festival of New Works kicks off its 10th anniversa-
ry this week, bringing to stage the first of 75 events
and 120 acts of creation from prolific playwrights,
abundant actors, innovative dancers, talented de-
signers and adventuresome producers.
Fertile Ground is an incubator for new artistic
works in all forms and stages of creation, offering
theatre and dance, workshops, staged readings and
multidisciplinary events – for 11 days, at all times
of the day, from Thursday, Jan. 24 to Sunday, Feb. 3.
“Fertile Ground is a celebration of Portland’s artistic
community that gives artists the platform to take chanc-
es, share their artistic impulses and cultivate some pro-
ducing skills, while getting introduced to new audienc-
es,” said Nicole Lane, Fertile Ground festival director.
Patrons can purchase individual tickets to each
show or buy a $50 all-access festival pass. For de-
