PCS commissions Pearson for new play

Anya Pearson will collaborate with Portland Center Stage to develop a new work.

“I am beyond honored to receive this commission from Portland Center Stage — and to be part of this amazing and formidable lineup of BIPOC playwrights. … We need theatre now more than ever! The collective breath, the joy, the vulnerability, the investigation of the soul, and the reimagining of what it means to gather, to hold space, and to dream of a better world for all of us.”

Congratulations to Pearson — Princeton Hodder Fellow!

Anya Pearson is one of five Hodder Fellows for 2021-2022.

She will spend the fellowship year writing an original play examining and dissecting the roots and ramifications of gentrification and how they intersect with the achievement gap to further promote inequality in our society.
