In this provided photo actors perform on stage at the  Hillsboro Arts Regional Theatre on April 10, 2026. Mini Sharma Ogle and Sini Sreekumaran are in the foreground, while Manie Grewal, Umi Om and Barbara Pineiro look on.

The Fertile Ground Festival of new plays in development has become a staple of the Portland theatre scene since it first began in 2009.

This year’s festival has expanded to 17 days, the longest festival yet, to take in the 80-some different productions that run through April 26.

We talk with the festival director, Tamara Carroll, and Kristin Tehran, who helped create “When I Was a Mexican: A Bollywood Musical.”

“Think Out Loud®” broadcasts live at noon every day and rebroadcasts at 8 p.m.
