Last night Enso was awarded the Mary Brand grant, to support our 2019-20 Student Director Mentorship. . Hot damn. Wow. I mean, WOW. <3 <3 <3 . This morning, I am filled with the memories from the last three years of developing this program, and the utterly incredible young people that made it possible. . Here's to Isabel McTighe, Cambria Lorene Herrera, and Parker Callais, who gathered loving, compassionate ensembles of young people, who provided invaluable feedback to improve the process, who dove deep to tell moving, impactful stories... . Thank you. . Thank you to all of the young actors, designers, parents and friends who participated and attended and supported the creation of a mindful, compassionate, in-between space for emerging professionals. . And of course, thank you the Portland Civic Theatre Guild for their support of theater made with mindfulness. . Because of this award, for the first time, we will be able to pay our mentors for their mentoring. <3 . We keep on plugging, one day at a time. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 . With ALL the love, Caitlin . #drammys2019 #thankyou #supported #studentdirectormentorship #marybrand https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbNovVBtHL/?igshid=1qemyg65x37t2

Meet our 2019-20 Student Director! Kieran is super excited to be making his directing debut with Enso! Kieran is primarily an actor, a sometimes playwright, and a first time director--and he couldn't be more happy, nervous, amazed, and thankful. Kieran is a Junior at Wilson high school, and a young professional at Oregon Children's theatre and most recently performed in DNA with them. He has a portland area musical theatre award for outstanding young performer as Michael Banks in Northwest Children's Theatre's production of Mary Poppins (2014) as well as a Troscar for best leading actor as Gibson/Mr. Burns in Mr. Burns with the Wilson theatre company: Southwest Stageworks. He thanks Caitlin and Jordan for giving him this opportunity and leading and teaching him along the way, his family for always supporting him, Parker for inspiring him to take up directing through Enso, and Dani, Matt, and Miller for teaching him. He hopes to see you at the show! Big, big thanks to @portland.civic.theatre.guild for your support of Enso’s Student Director Mentorship this season!! ❤️❤️ Stay tuned for our student director show announcement!! #studentdirectormentorship #ensotheatre #pdxtheater #youththeater #teentheater https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bvFnMB_sI/?igshid=17ig8ywxbyn3

You can catch “Meet Me at the Edge of the World” today one last time! (2p @ ShoutHouse) . When I think about where these young actors started in this process, and where they are today, I’m blown away. . They have created grounded, connected work. . They have come out of their shells and bonded as an ensemble. . They have pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones in a mindful, loving way. . And they take care of each other. . If you haven’t joined us yet, I hope you will, and if you’ve already seen the show, come see it again! . Pay what you can tickets are always available. . ❤️❤️❤️Deep thanks to this cast that has been making me giggle and inspiring me the last several weeks. . And to Parker, who has taught me so much about listening, letting go, and staying present — she is a phenomenally talented director and y’all need to keep your eyes peeled on where she’s headed next. . It’s been nothing but joy working with all of you. ❤️ . Let’s go out with a BANG! .
