Rose City Park Neighborhood Association

June 21 RCPNA General Meeting Features Living Stages Interactive Theatre on the Topic of “Home” and an Update on Residential Infill

Portland, Oregon – Tuesday, June 21, 7 pm, in partnership with the Rose City Park Neighborhood Association,  Living Stages Theatre will present an interactive theatrical forum “Home is Where the Heart Is” to engage community members in conversation about ideas, values, and assumptions related to “home.” The forum will be held at the German American Society, 5626 NE Alameda. During the forum, community actors from Right to Survive, an organization created by and for members of Portland’s houseless community, will present a short scene to share some of the challenges homeless individuals and families face in day-to-day survival. Members of the audience will be invited to stop the action of the scene and step onto the stage to propose their ideas for possible solutions.

This program was made possible with a Small Neighborhood Grant from Central Northeast Neighbors, and a grant from Oregon Humanities (OH), a statewide nonprofit organization and independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The second half of the meeting will feature an update on residential infill; recruitment and election of Board members; and crime prevention and DEQ/air toxic updates.

The meeting will run from 7 – 9 pm and is open to the public.  The building is ADA-and transit-accessible (TriMet bus lines 12 and 71).
