Sponsor Dare and Derriere

What you are sponsoring

Your monetary contribution supports the sustainability of our production, which provides an opportunity for local Portland performance artists to showcase their art. The art you support by sponsoring our show is:

  • Sex-positive

  • Beauty at all sizes

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming

  • Disability inclusive

  • Ethnically diverse

Funds are used to pay performers and crew, employ ASL interpreters for accessibility, purchase rigging and safety equipment, cover show-specific expenses (such as marketing and craft services), as well as cover overhead production expenses (administrative, insurance, and legal consulting fees).

Cabaret Show Audiences in Portland, OR

Dare and Derriere produces cabaret shows in a variety of theater venues around Portland; these venues and the shows produced there tend to draw different crowds.

Dare and Derriere at Alberta Rose Theatre

3000 NE Alberta St, Portland, OR 97211
Seats up to 400. The audience is about 60% women and we typically see a greater spread of ages. This venue is ages 18+, and many attendees are connected with the circus community.

Nine Inch Heels at Nova PDX

722 E Burnside St, Portland, OR 97214
Seats up to 600. The audience tends to be 30-49 years old with a pretty equitable split of men and women. This venue is ages 21+, and attendees have great taste in music (90s industrial rock).

Costc-HO Varietease at Echo Theater Company

1515 SE 37th Ave, Portland, OR 97214
Seats up to 150. The audience is about 24-40 years old and about two thirds women. This venue is ages 18+, and attendees love whimsy, absurdity, and Costco.

SobrieTease at the Hallowed Halls

4420 SE 64th Ave, Portland, OR 97206
Seats up to 150. I anticipate that the audience will lean more female and median age (30s). This venue is ages 18+, and attendees are seeking sober nightlife.
