Portland Center Stage at The Armory

Theatre at the Armory is generally unique and extremely well done. Great talent and excellent subject matter keep me coming back for more, season after season! Parking can be a challenge, so come early and grab a bite.

A very cool space! From the lobby to the bathrooms to the theater... Nicely done. The place has a lot of history, obviously, and I believe they offer tours there the 3rd Saturday of each month. I will definitely be hitting that up. I saw Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill there recently and was so glad I did. Very well done.

We rented this venue for our wedding. The staff wasn't super friendly and kinda difficult to work with but they allowed us to use our own caterer. But this place is super nice looking for wedding. Also the rent is discounted on certain days, however it also costs more to rent on popular days like long weekends. If you want to rent this place for wedding during summer, you have to reserve very far in advance because their theater schedule doesn't come out until very late. Initially we wanted to have our wedding in September but later on found out that they have shows throughout september. They have speaker system set up already so you can skip having a DJ and save money. We were told that their garbage might be full on our wedding evening because of a show. So, if the garbage is full, we were told to take the garbage with us because there was no other way. In the end, the garbage wasn't full and everything worked out. All in all everything was fine. They gave us season tickets for the shows at the armory theater, which was very nice. We took many of our friends and family and it was a fin experience. I will recommend this place.

I love the plays at PCS. Never went to a bad production. The theater itself has no bad seats in the main auditorium. Downstairs in the Ellen Bye Studio, each show has a different seating conformation. There is special needs seating and an elevator. Many parking lots are nearby and it is possible to find on street parking. The Old Armory has been transformed into a Platinum Level ecological building which is amazing and beautiful to see.
There is a small food service that provides small bites , beer and wine, coffee, etc. Nationally recognized, a place to take your out of town guests. New York, be jealous!

I enjoy seeing shows at the Armory. The theater is not too big, so there isn't a bad seat. Each of the productions I've seen here have been great. Not big budget productions by any means, but smartly done and very entertaining. The building and decoration are also quite nice. It's one of those places where you take out your phone and snap a few pictures while waiting for the theater to open or the show to start, just because its that interesting.
