WHAT IS COMMUNITY PROFILE?

We believe that coming together to share stories with those who have similar life experiences can spark inspiration, ease feelings of loneliness, and strengthen a sense of belonging.

Community Profile is our signature community engagement program that uses the practice of writing and storytelling to promote belonging and resiliency in dedicated affinity spaces.

Over the course of 18 months, community members whose lived experiences connect to our season’s themes will will have the opportunity to explore the craft of writing, and to develop their own creative voices. Participants work with prolific, award-winning writers – with similar backgrounds to their own – in a series of monthly writing workshops and community building sessions.

The 2026 Community Profile Cohorts!

In January 2026, we will launch two new Community Profile cohorts serving Trans/Nonbinary/Two-Spirit (Trans/NB/2S) and Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) people. The cohorts will have the opportunity to engage in community building sessions, writing workshops, theatre outings, artist happy hours, public readings, and more.

Community Profile runs through June, 2027. Participants are invited to come to as many or as few sessions as fit their schedule – no commitment necessary!

The program, including food, theatre outings, writing supplies and community events, is 100% free!
