I'd love to hear more about the history of the building, if anybody cares to comment (or email me: ahallett@portlandmercury.com).

      <![CDATA[That is terrible news.  Holy crap, we have GOT to get together people.  Time to brainstorm alternatives.  I went to H2Ms show last night at what I believe is Zoomtopia (810 Belmont).  That space has possibilities.  Headwaters, yes.  I recently rented the theater space at Milepost 5.  Challenges, but they are working on them.  But obviously, Theater! Theater! is a big big loss.  It's a sad day for Portland theater.

      <![CDATA[Portland may not have many mid-sized theater spaces, but in truth, Portland doesn't yet have enough talent to support a robust theater scene. <br>
<br>
I base this on attending theater in Minneapolis and Seattle, where the bar is higher when it comes to what kind of performance you can expect for $25.

So the building used to belong to the theatre companies, but now it belongs to a landlord from whom the theatres are rented? That's a shame.

<br>
The BodyVox Dance Center is often available for readings and the like that don't have a permanent set, but definitely tricky for theater, due to the permanent marley on the floor.<br>
<br>
I will be sad to see Theater Theatre go. I think everyone in the community has a lot of memories attached to that dusty, dusty low ceiling'd set of rooms.
