Portland Theater Company List

Back to The Study

Here is my massive list of all the theater companies in Portland (and the nearby area) that I have come across! I have tried to organize these, and include the area of town, plus any discounted tickets. I'm aware this is likley an impossible task, but my brain can't resist the need for organization. I am attempting to keep things alphabetized. I have tried to find websites where possible, though sometimes I'm forced to link an Instragram or Facebook profile as the only representation.

Posting ticket discount options is a huge motivation behind making this list, as some theaters aren't interested in making that information accessible. Information about discounts is pulled from the Arts for All website, personal experience, the company's own website, and posts on the PDX Backstage forums.

If you'd like to add more that I have missed, add your own, or report a comment/concern, please email me: six-letter-notion@proton.me

This is not a direct endorsement of any of these theaters, and I have not done extensive research for all of these companies.
