City hears Keller Auditorium renovation ideas, considers five compelling proposals for potential new performing arts venue
|
On September 27, Portland City Council reviewed a proposal to renovate Keller Auditorium.
The City is also zeroing in on five locations for a potential new performing arts facility to replace the Keller, including Lloyd Center, Lloyd Superblock, Portland State University, OMSI and Zidell Yards.
Keller Auditorium is the largest theatrical auditorium in Oregon and the only theater in the Portland area capable of hosting Broadway performances, large operas and ballet productions. A 2020 seismic study underscored the need for renovations to meet modern safety standards and ensure the auditorium's ability to withstand a major earthquake. City Council will review all of the City's options for renovating or replacing the Keller next spring.
