Portland Center Stage/Gerding Theater at the Armory

Serving as the new home to theater company Portland Center Stage, the 20,000 SF structure features a 599-seat “main stage” theater, plus a 200-seat “black box” theater serves as a second stage. A rehearsal hall provides space for workshops, lectures, and events, while additional spaces accommodate a costume shop, artists’ dressing rooms, administrative offices, and a ticket office. The lobby features interactive elements that tell the story of the building’s history and significant sustainable design elements. It represents the nation’s first LEED Platinum Theater.
