HART Takes the Spotlight — and the West Side — at Fertile Ground!

HART has always believed that bold, original stories deserve a place on stage — and this year, audiences agree in a big way.

The Fertile Ground Festival at HART has been playing to packed houses and standing ovations. They are not just holding our own — they are leading the charge for original work west of the hills, drawing in audiences from Hillsboro, the greater metro area, and even across the state.

Oregon ArtsWatch recently featured HART in their glowing review of Fertile Ground’s expansion beyond Portland, calling attention to the powerful and moving work happening right here in downtown Hillsboro and their commitment to new works is resonating with our community.

This isn’t just a win for HART. It’s a win for downtown Hillsboro. Every sold-out show brings new energy to Main Street — from people dining at local restaurants to patrons discovering the charm and creativity our district has to offer.

The buzz is real. The stories are powerful. And this is just the beginning.

🎭 Want in?  There are ONLY two more nights of Fertile Ground fun left.  Tomorrow Wednesday 4/16 features an Evening of New Works where you get 4 short plays by 3 different playwrights and the closing matinee of "Out of Love" by James Van Eaton at 2p this Saturday 4/19.
