I really…read moreenjoyed this performance, of which Noam's Friends who played Fiddle, String Base, Acoustic Guitar, and a "kick ass" Mandolin. Noam is widely recognized banjoist. We deeply appreciated his journey through "War Ravaged" Portland to get here. The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts is stunning venue. The auditorium had nice acoustics and sight lines, and I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. We actually sat next to Patricia and her husband, who happened to be one of David's old High School Teachers. Outside the Auditorium is a pretty multi-level lobby space, teaching rooms, an interesting art gallery, and great light. There's also a spacious outside plaza and an inviting entrance. Reser staff were all very professional hand helpful. The Reser was also an easy walk from my Hotel and the Max Light Rail, for those not driving. I'd love to come back, and maybe for the Stop Making Sense Tour?

The building is clean and well maintained and the auditorium is inviting and intimate. I appreciate the design aesthetic and attention to detail. And as a Bay Area native, I was pleasantly surprised to attend LaRussell's performance, which is part of the Rhythm + Revolution event series that has an amazing line up of hip hop culture events. I also viewed the Black Matter and ReENVISIONED exhibits showcasing Black artists. Very grateful to The Reser for hosting these types of events, artists and artwork - thank you!

I attended a fantastic networking event here and was very impressed with the potential. There was a gentleman playing live music, there was a spot for you to lay out catered food and a spot for a drink cart. Parking was fantastic as well with so much available parking in a couple lots. I know this space is usually for plays and musicals but this opened my eyes to a much broader use.

I also really enjoy the Deb Fennell auditorium there truly is not a bad seat in the house. It is very thoughtful for them to offer upper young adult tickets at a lower rate!

We've been season ticket holders for several years now and have enjoyed their productions. From…read moremusicals to comedy and drama, the players and crew are enthusiastic, involved, and energetic. Last night we attended their first performance in their new adjunct, The Playhouse, located in the Cedar Hills Crossing Mall, of a short play called "Anybody for Tea?" by C.B Gilford. Done in improve style, the cast was, according the introduction, given scripts and some time with the director before the presentation, but they'd not met each other and had no idea who was in other roles or how it was going to play out. We recognized several of the actors from previous productions, including the play's 'coach,' the always talented, Les Ico. The only down-side was a bench that broke during seating, but the folks looked to be fine and the bench was quickly replaced by chairs. I hope they do more of these smaller productions along with their main stage plays. We'd definitely attend. It was great fun and the Peachwave just down the mall has a non-dairy frozen dessert offering that's pineapple and not vanilla.

We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory on South Waterfront. The location was beautiful for date night. Loved about it: It was nice to get into the character and be on the set of a real life clue game. Loved how we everyone was dressed for the Masquerade Billionaire Club Ball. It really added to the whole ambience. People actually got into character! Loved to see how everyone acted and showed emotions. Drawbacks: The people on our table were a little shy (on their 2nd/3rd date) and weren't participating as much so that was a drawback for us. Food was so/so but again we were there for the experience and not the food and that is where I took away a star. They were a little loose with the directions with what to do with money or who should respond how. Now we are looking forward to next time because we know what to do. They took mugshots in the beginning and during the event and promised to send us the link to the pictures via email. We never got them :( take your own pictures! Tips: Its all about the guests! Be involved in it and have fun. Going in a group would be fun. Its fun to see how your friends/other couples act/react in different situations. Talk and mingle with other.

The only down fall was the lack of all the clues, as well as short amount of time to solve the mystery.
