Shared Spark Arts Academy Ignite Family Creativity

Meet the company President and primary teacher, Erik Montague!

A Portland-local, seasoned, professional musical theater artist, theater maker, and teacher, Erik Montague serves as the President and Master Teacher of Shared Spark Arts Academy. Hailing from Montana, where he received his degrees in Theater and Creative Writing, respectively, Erik has directly experienced how theater has changed (and even saved) his life. For nearly 20 years, Erik has dedicated his time and life to producing a variety of theater experiences and his passion and love for the craft is something he loves sharing with those who seek it out for themselves.

Erik offers a wealth of experience in the performing arts. With over 10,000 students taught across 40 states and hundreds of communities, his fun, engaging, and dynamic approach to theater has connected with and inspired many to witness and experience the importance of community, the sense of self-expression, and, most importantly, the fun of performing! With over 150 productions directed and facilitated, Erik leads his programs with the highest standards of artistic and educational excellence.

Hey there! Erik Montague here. I'm trying my hand at opening up my own business: Shared Spark Arts Academy. It will be a Performing Arts School dedicated to serving families in the Portland Metro Area.

Our mission: Shared Spark Arts Academy is dedicated to fostering creativity, connection, and community through the performing arts. We aim to enrich the lives of families and individuals by providing inclusive, high-quality theater education.

I would love your support as I'm venturing into this new chapter in my life! Details for upcoming classes coming soon!
