JAW New Play Festival FREE! July 28-30
A week-long assembling of artists and audiences to create new plays! Artistic teams, including playwrights, directors and actors, come together to rehearse — and a lot of times rewrite! — a play. The final piece of the process happens during the weekend, when we share “music stands readings” with audiences so the playwrights can hear their work, often for the very first time!
Sarah Clarke is a Portland, OR native, best known for fronting high energy funk ensembles (Dirty Revival, Outer Orbit). She’s performed with numerous acts throughout the years, sharing stages with groups like Ghost-note, Blossom, Moorea Masa and the Mood, Yak Attack, March 4th Marching Band, and many more. She has had the opportunity to dive into artist advocacy work, founding the non-profit Musicians in Solidarity as well as joining DJ O.G One as the co-director of MusicPortland LEAP, an advocacy project focused on supporting the Portland BIPOC music scene.
