“My kids and I had so much fun performing in Erik’s plays. From the first improv game to the final bow, each session was a joyful experience. Erik’s energy and enthusiasm inspired everyone, including the more hesitant young actors. I’ll always appreciate Erik for helping my family make wonderful memories together!”
“1000% encourage all parents of young kids to sign up for Erik’s family theater class! In all honesty, his family courses produced some of my fondest parenting memories.”
“Working on family shows with Erik Montague was a fantastic experience for my daughter and I. In fact, we did 4 shows together. What I loved most was doing an activity with my kid rather than simply watching her from the sidelines. Erik made the whole experience fun and rewarding for both the adults and the kids.”
"Erik is an amazing teacher. (I taught for over 35 years and currently work with student teachers at PSU... I know a master teacher when I see one!) He made everyone feel comfortable and gave solid advice that made everyone better in a very short while... I will definitely be going to his classes again and give him my highest recommendation."
"We’ve done 2 family plays with Erik, and they were the highlights of our year! He’s great at getting everyone involved in the theater experience, and it was so fun to invite friends to see us perform. Highly recommend!"
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.
We believe that, as our society continues into the technological age and our reliance on screens continue, more avenues for interpersonal connection and community need to open up. Shared Spark strives to grow community through social and emotional learning while having fun!
Our mission is to empower people of all ages to express themselves, build meaningful relationships, and experience the transformative power of the performing arts.
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.
