Shoutout to Alums!

Whutup, PACtors? That's what we call those who have been through the two years of growth, challenge, bonding and sometime insanity we call Portland Actors Conservatory's Two Year program. Some of you may be reading this before dashing off to rehearsal, and some of you may be feeling a deep yearning to hit the boards again after being away for too long. But one thing is true: you indubitably possess the skill, the training, and the experience to pursue your craft with tenacity and tenderness. We promise.

In short, the world is a PACtor's oyster. A good way to keep this in mind is to reconnect with fellow actors from your class, or even from other Conservatory classes. Sometimes losing the small, tightly-knit (some would say crocheted) community of your class after graduation can be a swift kick to the support system. But the reality is, we're all in this big world of professional theater together - and the good news is that the world is not really that big.



Need a good talk with Beth? Or just to vent about an audition with someone who understands? Want to celebrate getting the role, or seeing yourself on the small screen? I promise you, there's a fellow alum out there who wants to do it with you, and that Beth would love to hear from you.

We're planning to do more Alumni Meetups like the one at Aura Restaurant and Lounge on Aug. 26, where PAC's first-ever alumni theater troupe will be sharing some info on their Fall show and I'll be giving you a heads up on some new programs for alums and prospective students this year.

Lastly, who am I and what in the world do these silly videos have to do with PAC alums? I'm the new marketing coordinator, silly!
