Here is my massive list of all the theaters in Portland (and the nearby area) that I have come across! I have tried to organize these, and include the location, plus any discounted tickets. Information is pulled from the Arts for All website, personal experience, and posts on the PDX Backstage forums. If you'd like to be listed here or change information, send me an email!
