Our award-winning BACKFENCE series of storytelling shows has been delighting audiences since 2008. The aughts, you all!Our shows feature local and out of town storytellers telling true personal tales based on a theme. Former storytellers range from a blood-spatter expert, a pet photographer, a park ranger, funeral director, a former Scientologist, to scientists and doctors, to New York Times Best-Selling authors, film actors/writers/directors, and people we've met on the street.BACKFENCE is honored to have raised money for, partnered with and/or performed in support of amazing non-profits that serve our community: JOIN, Oregon Tradeswomen, The Dougy Center, Oregon Food Bank, Literary Arts, Schoolhouse Supplies, Notes of Hope, Proud Ground, Black Girls Code, Children's Book Bank, Rock-n-Roll Camp for Girls, P:EAR, The Big Float, The Independent Publishing Resource Center, Planned Parenthood, Neighborhood House, Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Creative Mornings, and more.
