🎭 DIRECTOR SPOTLIGHT: ALACIAS ENGER 🎭

Alacias Enger is the Artistic Director of Third Eye Theatre and is directing *Queerly Departed* by Ian “El” Trutt and *Every Guy* by Rhett Goldman in this year’s Portland Pride Play Festival.

Alacias Enger is the Artistic Director of Third Eye Theatre and is delighted to be directing *Queerly Departed* by Ian “El” Trutt and *Every Guy* by Rhett Goldman in the Second Annual Portland Pride Play Festival. Alacias reentered the Portland theatre scene in 2024 by co-directing Mae West’s *The Drag* at Twilight Theatre with Third Eye’s Programming Manager, Ravyn. She continued her collaboration with Ravyn by relaunching Third Eye Theatre in 2025 with the First Annual Portland Pride Play Festival. Producing more than 20 plays in Portland between 2006 and 2013, she is thrilled to be focusing her attention on Third Eye Theatre’s Portland Pride Play Festival and Queer Voices New Play Development Program. Directing credits include *No Exit*, *Das Barbecü*, *The Eight: Reindeer Monologues*, *We Bombed in New Haven*, and *Porn Shop!*, just to name a few. On the stage, a few of her favorite acting credits include Polly Pry in *Cannibal! The Musical*, Shelly in *Buried Child*, and Gwendolen in *The Importance of Being Earnest*. Most recently, when not producing and directing the Portland Pride Play Festival, you can find Alacias in rehearsals for her next directorial project, *Waiting for Godot* with The Canon Shakespeare Company, which runs in August 2026.
