    Stage!
    Bubba Y.

    A favorite venue. Decent pizza and drink options, small enough to not feel crowded. Sound can be a bit muddy if the performers are over-amplified and the seats in the balcony are about the same size as the economy section of Spirit Airlines but other than that, it's a repeat performance!

    FORTUNE !!!!

    Come here for comedy shows. Very cool venue. They have a couple different bar / drink areas.. along with pizza. Parking is street, though they have a lot a few blocks away. Everyone is helpful. Bathrooms are upstairs.

    The Aladdin is a decent venue in Portland. I hadn't been here in a long time and made the trek to see the Dinosaur Improv group. Our seats were pretty good. It is small space so it is nice to not sit so far away and be able to make out everyone's faces! Drinks/snacks are served at the Aladdin and there are a couple of places to eat nearby. Parking is a little difficult, best to come early. I would come here again for an event.

    Cool venue. Been here for Hawaiian concerts as well as a comedy show. Food is available at the bar next door that's connected to the venue as well as in the lobby. Pizza, beer, snacks, no popcorn sadly. Buy your tix at the box office to save a ticket fee

    The Aladdin is a bit dated in appearance, both interior and exterior. Its flimsy folding chairs are lumpy, uncomfortable, and not particularly clean. Same can be said of the floors. It's also narrow and claustrophobic; at a sold out show, it gives off the vibe of one of those clubs where people die in a pyrotechnics mishap because of the human stampede getting wedged in a tiny doorway. On the plus side, the food and drink options at the bar just outside the theater are reasonably cheap, if limited, by event venue standards, anyway. For beverages, mostly beer and cider: no cocktails or hard liquors in sight. Snackables include pizza, chips, hummus, and a small selection of sandwiches and the like. The staff seem competent enough to keep the lines moving, and to serve the swelling crowds efficiently. Really though, most small theaters like this are merely vehicles for the entertainment: little more than a place to park your rumpus for a concert or comedy show. By that metric, the Aladdin provides exactly that, a seat, and little more.

    One of my favorite smaller PDX venues, both for its intimacy and its charming retro vibe. The sound ain't too bad either, and they book some damn fine acts, both local and national. The Lamp bar downstairs is decent enough (if overpriced) plus they have screens that stream the live show happening in the theater - in case you need to take a break, grab some water or whatever. Two levels and lots of stairs here though - you've been warned.

    First time here and absolutely love it! The food is super fast and yummy. I'm here watching This Will Destroy You with Christopher Tignor and my mind is blown!

    Been in Portland almost two years and this was my first visit to Aladdin Theater. I saw John Hiatt and it was, in every way spectacular! Lines around the building!! Okay maybe downstairs coulda sung, but what can you do. Food was plentiful and fairly priced, as were beverages! Big selection in the bar proper. They had two separate rooms set up with concession kinda stuff and the lines moved quickly and staff was super friendly and professional. Really great venue. Clean and cute and simply an old movie theater I assume. Just happens I'm one of those what gets VERY turned around VERY easily. My new friend on staff, Paul, let me 1.) chatter away, and also 2.) kindly pointed me in the correct direction ;) ‍ I was unaccompanied and his 100% situational awareness as we filed out en masse and easy demeanor really helped me enjoy my Big Night Out. Yay, Paul, and yay Mark and the Aladdin and John Hiatt :) 10/10 ~M I almost forgot! I'd purchased a beautiful concert poster for $30 and lost it within the hour and I mentioned it to Paul after the show and he KNEW what I was talking about and retrieved it from the bar guys who'd kept it safe... just a really special night for someone who stays home too damn much, haha.

    Serioulsy one of my new fave venues. For my fellow fattys the seats ARE NOT fat friendly BUT if you can sit in them they are more comfy than the Roseland seats in the balcony. Noone actually sat in thier seats they were just there to hold stuff. Only venue i been to so far you can take your alcohol on the floor and you can bring your food as well. The staff handled the protest situation properly and it was resolved before the show ended so patrons felt safe. Big ups to Matisyahu for comming and continuing to spread his message of love and peace! Cant wait to see you agai

    This is a nice intimate theatre located in the Brooklyn area of Portland. I saw Joshua Radin here. Good acoustics, good volume. Plenty of comfortable seating. The balcony was closed off - would have been nice views from up there. Bathrooms are upstairs. Some lines during intermission, but no terrible. There are 2 areas to get drinks. And you can bring drinks into the theater area. There is a long bar when you enter, but also a side eating area with a bar. Most beers were Double Mountain brewing - they had a good Oktoberfest right now. Pint of beer was $8. Easy getting in the door - quick ticket scan. Parking was easier than expected. No parking lot. Great BBQ place across the treat that was quick eats. I would definitely go back for another show here.

    I want to say two stars but I wanna be nice. Let's start off with the good: Upon entering there were a couple of nice girls who checked my bag for safety reasons. I totally agree with bag check and I love that they did a thorough job! My seat was on the balcony and it was right under a vent and I couldn't stop coughing. I asked my bf to buy me a drink at the bar and they said they don't offer water and that you had to go to another bar in that same building to get it, but it was our first time here and it was crowded so we just ordered a soda. Soda didn't work so I thought about using a mask but I forgot one so I asked one of the bartenders and they gave me one for free and it was a KN95, wow!! Once I went back to my seat with my mask on I finally stopped coughing. Okay now onto why this place is 3/5 stars: Parking? Horrible. We got there 1.5hours early to possibly be lucky enough to find street parking but there were none. We saw a suggestion to park your vehicle at one of the smart garages and take a max to the theater which we did, but on the way back we took an uber. The seats were gross. It looked like it's been through more than you can imagine. It's way over due for a renovation. After reading many reviews I brought a jacket to place on the seat so that I dont have to actually touch it. I wouldn't want to come here again because how gross it is. The workers here are super cool and nice, it's just the theater that's the problem.

    Fo they have a metal detector at the door? Pat downs ? Purse/bag search ? Coat check ? I cannot find any info on the website. Im seeing Matisyahu 2/26 if that helps.

    No coat check, but they will have walk through metal detectors and a thorough bag search as well as extra security staff.

    Does anyone know if this venue has air conditioning ? It's gonna be sooo hot for Thursday's upcoming show Blind Pilot.

    Yes, It was so cold for the Shook Twins that we almost left , so I recommend wearing long sleeves.

They have a number of programs, like $25 tickets, Rush/Standby Tickets, Arts for All, Pay What You Will days. All very affordable! And for the quality of the shows here, it's absolutely worth it to go see at least one show a season. The stage crew and actors put on great shows! Every staff member I've encountered there have been friendly, patient and accommodating. I've done the Standby tickets for a few shows now and it's a great experience. Put your name on the wait-list about 90 minutes before showtime, go grab a bite to eat, and if you get a seat, that's great! If not, they can put you on the wait list for the next show (and then you can go do another activity downtown). They keep the place pretty clean too, really nice bathrooms haha.

As someone with limited mobility often - I have a tissue disorder and some days I am far more mobile than others. I am also, due to the tissue disorder, more modest means. Thankfully Portland Center Stage is a proud Arts for All member. In addition - they really do welcome people. They have a lot of seating for ADA and accommodate you should you need chair arms or no arms or will have a spot cleared for your wheelchair. I appreciate tickets being low cost for me but with ADA it can be tricky and the events at the most challenging ADA locations expect you to show up right before a show hoping they will have an extra ticket which I cannot physically do and would not want that on ushers either. When inquiring, I have been treated with less than stellar attitude. I would love to have money and mobility and I used to! I know so many who are starting to struggle with mobility as they age and I really encourage them to go to spaces like this where they can easily get in and out. But even just calling - they actually answer the phone and are so helpful! I get that they want to sell as much at full price but it makes me really appreciate how truly welcoming Portland Center Stage is. Arts are healing and the productions here really are top notch. Their staff is very diverse throughout the theater making it feel like a safe space for everyone also. When seeing shows here, they do have a great concessions stand/bar with a great wine selection and some decent snacks. The theater is in such a great location - to the back of the theater is a favorite gelato place of mine and also some of the most delicious West African food if you want to make a whole night of it!

    The Christmas Revels were one of the true highlights of our holiday season…read more But, for context I should point out that my son and I are their target audience... Exhibit 1: We attend every renaissance faire in the state (repeatedly) Exhibit 2: We love musical theatre Exhibit 3: We are history buffs When we were attending a holiday show at Portland Center Stage, I was fortunate to see an advertisement for this production. This was the 20th anniversary of the Christmas Revels show in Portland and there are similar revels productions throughout the U.S. [1] One of the elements that makes this show unique is the level of audience participation. Each year they create a new show that has elements of choral and instrumental music, as well as Morris, sword and country dancing, storytelling and comedy (including a Mummers play). Before the show began, the director walked us through the program, highlighted the sections where the audience would sing (typically in Latin) and we had a little mini-rehearsal. The cast is comprised of around a dozen children, who were great fun during the dancing segments, a handful of members in their teens and 20s and then a larger contingent in their 30s - 60s and beyond. This year's production had a modern teenager transported back in time during a tour of the Tower of London to celebrate the holidays with families who were prisoners there in the 17th century. All of the acting and the story were beautifully done, with many comedic moments. But, I have to say the dancing was particularly fine. And the costumes were stunning. We attending the last show of the season and the venue (St. Mary's Academy) was packed. In many cases families were attending with grandparents and children. There were 30 songs/dances in the performance, but it really moved along and there was a brief intermission. The content is suitable for all ages, but it might be a little much to keep young children seated for that long. However, my son had a ball and with any luck he'll join their merry troupe next season. [1] The first show was in Cambridge, MA in 1971.

    We attended the 2018 Christmas Revels production - "Highland Voyage, A Scottish Celebration of the…read moreWinter Solstice" last weekend, and I have mixed feelings about the performance. Much of the singing was lovely, and the trio of performers who told the story were very entertaining. My main issue, though, was the length of the show - it was close to 3 hours long! Compare this to a movie - I'd expect anything over 2 hours to be extraordinary - think Schindler's List, Titanic, The Godfather. The Revels is community theater, and in my opinion should have been edited down to 2 hours, max.

The concessions stand/bar only served very basic cocktails like gin and tonic, and not even made very well, the gin brand not very good (the cheap stuff). The canned wine was better, an oregon pinot noir (underwood). For theater candy, they only offered plain m&m's and red vines, so options for drinks and snacks were extremely limited here. The coolest part about this place was the clown art, with endless creative pieces like the clown last supper. A cute and cozy lounge with seating and a fake fireplace provided a nice little area to hangout before the show. Some outdoor seating available as well. We enjoyed the comedy event, which included some great stand-up acts, the feeling of being in the live audience for a talk show with a host that stayed in character and was actually quite funny, and great music and sound effects too by the house band. Note, the show started 20 minutes after the listed start time and ended about 10 minutes later than advertised online.

We purchased VIP tickets, which got us assigned seats and a super cool t-shirt. I totally recommend doing this, it's worth it. I was reluctant to review this place as I didn't want to break the local code of keeping it on the DL. With lots of bars and restaurants within 1-2 blocks away, easy to make a whole night out and not driving all over the place to do so. All & All ; VIP package is highly recommended, Bartender rocks.

I have a tissue disorder so I need ADA seating and thankfully I was able to relearn to walk and I'm not paralyzed but my body also causes my funds to be limited. With that said, I completely understand that companies want to sell as many tickets at full price as they can before allowing Arts for All patrons. I just wish they would have this disclosed on the Arts for All site or that they only offer Arts for All as a rush situation the night of the event. Triangle Productions says to contact the box office for AFA tickets so I left several messages for Triangle Productions with no call back for weeks. Now the production is a month away so I figured I'd try email. I had to hunt down their email because their website just has a phone number. A few hours later I received a curt reply that they're too busy to deal with phone calls and that they only allow AFA tickets day of the show. They were only able to give me ADA seating if it was for a regular ticket. It's shocking and sad to receive such an uncomfortable reply like this especially reading their mission statement. I didn't ask to be disabled and unfortunately my disability affects my available funds. I want to support the Arts still and wish I could monetarily. I was just at a show last night and the choreographer's thank you speech moved me stating thank you for including yourself in this experience with us... my friend and I, upon leaving discussed how much this really affected us. I'm so grateful I was gifted that inclusive message last night because it made this intensely oppositional message a bit easier to bear. I might mention that that company reserved space for us weeks ago and all of their shows are sold out for their run as well.

The second I am through the tunnel, FINALLY, there is no traffic. I was pretty annoyed since the horrific traffic ate a half hour and I was now going to be barely in time. I was so hyper focused on getting there that I was not really registering that I was in NW, not SW. I pull up to the Armory. I was so pissed at myself. I was JUST at the Armory for a Portland Center Stage show and thought I must have absent minded typed The Armory into Waze. But Waze was genuinely saying I was at 1515 SW Morrison. FYI - Someone had 'tagged' Artists Repertory Theatre in a photo they too of a fundraiser for Artists Repertory Theatre, held at The Armory resulting in Google having Artists Repertory Theatre IN The Armory. I had to manually enter the address and am doing that AT start time for the opera. I was having an anxiety attack and thinking about just going home but NO, DAMN IT I WILL MAKE IT. I will be late but I did not just go through this for nothing. And I genuinely was excited to see this venue I had never seen. I am so grateful I stuck it out though my adventure was not over yet! Driving the blocks from NW to SW, I was green lights all the way. BUT people randomly would just walk in front of me for zero reasons. Then a Max train genuinely just drifted slowly straight in front of my car when I was green light and they were not... my 5 minutes turned to 10 minutes... But I see an empty parking spot out front which is so great since I am ADA and walk with a cane but see no ADA spots. Everything is covered in wet fall leaves which can be a bit scary for my walking. As I pulled up, the space in front is just being taken. I parked around the corner, in front of a bar next to a truck that pared like they pregamed before hitting the bar. While getting out of the car, in sideways rain with zero light on that street (hysterically there was a light that was on when I came out after the performance but when I arrived it was pitch black) I see a perfect banana peel right where I would step to stand up getting out of my car?? And who says the universe does not have a sense of humor?!? I arrived and security came at me like I was dying because I probably looked like I was! Everyone was AMAZING. The lovely person with the will call list found me so easily and they tucked me right in like a mysterious diplomat with a folding cane who clearly walked into a lake and fought ninjas to get there. I, again, am ADA and try to just tuck in away from people at an end seat. There were five seats marked reserved for us ADA folks (the kind people from the venue had told me the whats what when I got my ticket) and they were all empty. As it was, right before I popped in to rush to my seat, they were apologizing to me that it had already started. I was shocked as I was mortified I was so late! I did make note of the great bar area with some tables and chairs to the right of the performance area for people to be social before and after with vendors selling wares. As I am taking a seat, I see an end one in the very front which I sit behind as the person seated directly to its right left a napkin with something...on it... that looked like chewed food. I was a bit distracted the whole show by that napkin because ewww. When the show ended, I took my program and political sign I was handed during the show as part of the show to get a photo. I chatted with an usher about the opera while I was taking my pictures and I was VERY surprised when I noticed the genuine blood stains on the wood floor next to me. Innocent probably but also MAYBE MURDER (had to).

    Seats on the first floor theater are incredibly uncomfortable - they're basically foldup chairs…read morewith a cushion. The show was good minus the loud sneeze I had just as the actor was about to start their monologue :p My apologies to the audience!
