Profile Theatre is elated to announce that Portland entertainment icons, Thomas Lauderdale & Hunter Noack, will give a special performance at our “Light the Way” Gala! Thomas is the bandleader for multi-million album-selling Pink Martini. Hunter is the Artistic Director of In A Landscape. The two will be performing a set including Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue” and other favorites!

Jane Vogel Mantiri is a retired trauma psychologist, an actor, and advocate for social justice. She is the founder of Advance Gender Equity in the Arts (AGE), a nonprofit organization that invests in theatre-makers who have historically been denied opportunities because of gender, race, and age.

Jane recently published her memoir, See JANE Run: A Primer on Love, Resilience, and the American Indo Dream. She was born in Indonesia and emigrated to the United States in 1960. Jane’s life experience as a child refugee informs her passion for healing and justice. Jane will be reading an excerpt from her acclaimed memoir, See JANE Run: A Primer on Love, Resilience, and the American Indo Dream.

Profile Theatre is proud to finish out our sensational entertainment lineup with the vocal stylings of Dani Barker! She will be performing the hit song “If I Ain’t Got You,” by Alicia Keys.
