Profile Theatre

One Playwright. One Vision. One World. Profile’s second Artistic Director, Adriana Baer, led the theater from 2012-2015.

Founded in 1997 by Jane Unger, Profile Theatre has always centered a season around a single writer, spending much of its first fifteen years exploring the work of some of the 20th Centuries most important masters and bringing many of them to Portland to develop work. Adriana was interested in exploring the writers we would come to think of as our “21st Century Masters,” contemporary writers invest

‘Reggie Hoops’: It’s much more than basketball 08/06/2024

"For just a few more days, through Aug. 11, Portland has the opportunity to participate in something special..."

Read the review of "Reggie Hoops" from Oregon ArtsWatch!

‘Reggie Hoops’: It’s much more than basketball Profile Theatre's world premiere of Kristoffer Diaz' play wrestles fascinatingly with questions of family, professional striving, identity, and the meanings of love.

We’re teaming up to give The Sports Bra community $5 off tickets for the darkly funny new play “Reggie Hoops,” onstage through August 11 at Imago Theatre. 🎟️ Use promo code SB5OFF at www.profiletheatre.org

🏀 About the show: Reggie is one of the most promising executives in the NBA, but as a Black woman in a male-dominated field, she’s had to work twice as hard to get half as far. Now abruptly unemployed, she’s adjusting to home life with a wife and kids she rarely saw while on the job. Between a mother with a secret past, an unemployed brother, and an audacious wife, Reggie is on edge. When an acquaintance from the past appears with an unbelievable job offer, Reggie finds her family has their own agendas in regards to her career.

“Another sure slam dunk” (The Oregonian), “Reggie Hoops” is a sharp, funny, and modern story about parenthood, generational pressures, and the pain that comes with chasing your passion, from the Tony-nominated writer of Broadway’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity.” Directed by Melissa Crespo.

👉Tip: Profile Theatre's BIPOC Night on August 8 includes a pre-show reception for members of the BIPOC community with a free drawing for a gift card to The Sports Bra! Tickets to BIPOC Night performances are just $5 with code REGGIEBIPOC. Details at profiletheatre.org/reggiehoops
