Portland center stage Review

We had a few different venues at the top our list for our wedding, but as soon as we toured The Armory we knew we didn t need to look any further! The space itself is stunning - the perfect mix of vintage and modern industrial - and then on top of that we had a great experience working the venue coordinator, Elizabeth. She was very organized, responsive, and always helpful. Between Elizabeth s professionalism and the gorgeous setting of the Armory we had the exact wedding that we wanted!

The venue-both inside the theaters and outside in the LEED-certified lobby-is GORGEOUS. I love that you can go early and have some food upstairs or some cocktails pre-show. The staff clearly believes in their mission because it shows in their friendly, efficient service. Every time I'm there-whether seeing a show downstairs in the black box theater, watching a big-spectacle show, or even watching a film screening, I'm always entertained and happy I went. Good on you, PCS!! Keep it up.

I love attending live theatre, but the price of good season tickets is still just a little too much of a splurge for my budget. Enter PCS. Not only do they have reasonably-priced individual tickets, but also a variety of combination tickets to suit anyone. I wasn t totally sure on which seats the various offers would let me get, and so I emailed customer service. I quickly received an message back that explained the very generous ticketing policy. I was able to take advantage of the Armory Card for those aged 35 and under for 5 shows at $25 each. I thought with this offer I d be sitting in the nosebleeds, but I actually got to pick my seat, whether that was in the Orchestra or Mezzanine, first row or back. I am looking forward to a season at the beautiful Armory. Thank you PCS for making quality theatre accessible!

We saw The Color Purple. It was one of the best plays!!!!!!!!!! From the stage to the orchestra, to the cast to the costumes. Truly the best acting/voices ever. These actors/actresses are so very talented. Tears, frog in the throat and heart racing talent! Would see it 100 times over. Loved Squeak and Mister! Celie....no words to describe her talent!

Mom and I had a great time here, spent way too much money on drinks. The place has a nice energy to get a drink before the show, and all the seats seem to have a good view. Can't wait for the next show.

The First Regiment Armory Annex was built in 1891 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. This is a beautiful Building with a lot of history. Check it out.

Wonderful atmosphere with live music and great service. One can find an eclectic collection of people and shows at this venue. I highly recommend Portland Center Stage shows/events.

Quality productions, great venue, relaxed atmosphere. Not as pretentious as other venues around town.

It is wonderful to see an old building get a second life. And having a new theater space has brought new life into the availability of plays that Portland would have otherwise not have had presented.
