Review: WHERE WE BELONG at Portland Center Stage
by Krista Garver - Mar 8, 2023

Madeline Sayet’s sweeping and poetic one-person play WHERE WE BELONG tells the story of Achokayis, a Mohegan theatre-maker, who in 2015 moves to England to get her PhD in Shakespeare. It deals with issues that we as a country have actively worked to avoid talking about, or at least to relegate them to the past, even when their impacts are ongoing.

WHERE WE BELONG Comes to Portland Center Stage This Month
by Stephi Wild - Feb 2, 2023

Portland Center Stage will bring Portland audiences the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company production of Madeline Sayet's profoundly affecting and breathtaking solo show Where We Belong, presented in association with Folger Shakespeare Library.
