Portland Center Stage’s sensibilities skews traditional, with most seasons sporting a Shakespeare, a classic American musical or drama, a Christmas-themed show, and a mix of costume dramas and plays by the world’s great dramatists. But PCS has been expanding its season to include more contemporary plays and musicals. PCS also entices younger theatergoers by offering significantly discounted tickets and season subscriptions to 18-and-unders (and some discounts to 30-and-unders as well).

In 2006, Portland Center Stage moved into the historic Portland Armory, where it has a new 599-seat mainstage theater, a 200-seat black box, and a nifty café where you can get a pre-show bite. For a couple of weeks in the summer, the Armory gets festive when “JAW: A Playwrights Festival”, invites people to take in play readings and site-specific performances, participate in free workshops, and learn about Portland’s many theater companies at the Theater Fair.
