Portland’s longest-running professional theatre company, Artists Repertory Theatre, has been the city’s risk-taker since 1982. Its intimate downtown stages host the plays everyone talks about afterward — searing contemporary dramas, Northwest premieres and classics reimagined with a Northwest accent.
The company’s ArtsHub model shares its building with other arts groups, turning one address into a small creative city: rehearsals upstairs, design shops below, audiences gathering in a lobby that hums like a salon. Table|Room|Stage commissions new work from Oregon writers.
If Portland Center Stage is the grand living room, ART is the brilliant dinner party — close, lively and full of ideas you’ll argue about happily all the way home.
