Cameras and live theater have never mixed (for those uneducated to the etiquette) so unless you have a press pass or special permission (that includes staff and/or previous staff ) do not take pics!

Been here for the first time this spring season for the TEDxPortland event . Really liked the place. The men's restroom was a little smelly, but what can you do? The ushers here were nice and helpful!

Liz

Stunned when my total came to $15 for sparkling wine and a cookie in the lobby before the performance ! My advice, enjoy the wine (you're at the theater after all) and skip the cookie .

Ryan Nixon

The venue is great and the performances themselves well managed, but I would strongly advise against Will Call. The line for the performance I went to was the most mismanaged I had ever seen.

Christina F

Lovely venue. About 9 blocks from the MAX. The seats are a nice size (not too cramped) and fairly comfortable . The roasted nuts in the lobby are way $$ but yummy!

Nicole Kasten

Easy parking lot across the street. Very friendly ushers . Clean bathrooms . Craft beer selection .

if you dont have a great seat, it's not worth going. this venue is inky worth it if you are on the ground floor, first 10-20 rows.

Jennifer Richardson

Great place! Great ushers and amazing shows!

Alyson Wiley

Love this venue, I watched Lion King with my BFF here!! It is great the orchestra is beautiful, and the seating is great wherever you are.

Emee Pumarega

always go upstairs for snacks and restrooms . much shorter line than downstairs.

Gary Callahan

Come at 5:30PM for the ticket lottery . Orchestra level seats at $25.00 a piece; if you're a lucky winner.

Fergus Nolan

Tedx was excellent and Keller works well for the event

Gary Callahan

A great venue, with great seats and great acoustics .

Cheryn

Beware of ticket sellers that aren't affiliated with the box office . Keller doesn't have my debit card nor name under any tickets whatsoever so we can't get in. Dropped $900 for 3 adults and 4 kids ):

Maia Nelson

Will call line is ridiculous. Print your ticket before you get here!

Josh O'Brien

Wicked Awesome!

Matt Monroe

I am biased, but ballet with an orchestra is amazing! Enjoying the last OBT Nutcracker tonight.

Argion Dadulla

A bottle of water here costs $5.

J Harstad

Cameras are not allowed in the seating area. Just because you have a cell phone with a camera , you need to obey the rules.

Nicole Lee

Amaaaaazing Janet show! Drove from Seattle and well worth the drive!!

Tysa Fennern

Parking in front...pay attention to the signs!
