This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.
Newmark Theatre is an approximately 880-seat theater located at 1111 SW Broadway in downtown Portland, Oregon. Opened in 1987 within Antoinette Hatfield Hall — formerly part of the New Theatre Building / Portland Center for the Performing Arts complex — it is owned by the City of Portland / Metro and operated by Portland’5 Centers for the Arts.
The theater is regarded as one of Portland’s premier mid-size performance halls, known for its intimacy, strong sightlines, and European opera-house-inspired horseshoe design. Its event calendar includes theatrical productions, dance and ballet, jazz and classical concerts, chamber music, lectures, comedy, film screenings, and touring performing-arts programming.
Past and recurring programming has included the PDX Jazz Festival, with artists such as Bob James and Lee Ritenour, along with Oregon Ballet Theatre performances, Portland Center Stage productions historically, and a wide range of touring theatrical, dance, and classical acts. The stage sits less than four feet above the front row, reinforcing the close audience-performer relationship that defines Newmark Theatre.
Newmark Theatre is located at 1111 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201 — in downtown Portland within the Antoinette Hatfield Hall complex and the Portland’5 Centers for the Arts network.
Transit: Newmark Theatre is well served by TriMet in downtown Portland. MAX Light Rail lines and numerous downtown bus routes stop within a short walk, and the Portland Streetcar operates nearby. Transit is highly practical here because of the theater’s central SW Broadway location.
Driving and Parking: Newmark Theatre does not have a large dedicated on-site lot, so patrons typically use nearby downtown parking garages and metered street parking. Several SmartPark garages and private garages are within a few blocks. Arrive early on performance nights because downtown parking can fill quickly around curtain times.
Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout downtown Portland, with convenient drop-off along SW Broadway and adjacent streets. After performances, brief waits are common as audience members leave the theater at the same time.
Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Portland offers abundant lodging within walking distance, including hotels along SW Broadway and throughout the surrounding downtown core. Staying nearby makes it easy to walk to the theater before and after the performance.
Newmark Theatre has a compact, multi-tier layout designed around a single stage, so understanding the seating levels before you arrive helps you move from the lobby to your section smoothly. Its horseshoe arrangement keeps the room intimate while placing seating across the orchestra/main floor and balcony tiers.
Entrances and Access: The main entrance is off SW Broadway within the Antoinette Hatfield Hall complex. Guests enter through the lobby and continue to the theater’s tiered seating levels.
Seating Levels: Newmark Theatre is arranged as a multi-tier horseshoe with an orchestra/main floor and balcony levels wrapping toward the stage. The hall is designed so that all seats remain close to the stage, with no seat more than roughly 65 feet away.
Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available through the Portland’5 venues, including accessible seating locations and assistive listening accommodations.
Getting to Your Section: Ushers and staff direct patrons to seating tiers, and the theater’s compact layout makes sections easy to locate. Because the seating is raked and stairs connect tiers, give yourself time to move comfortably to your row before curtain.
Lobby concessions and bar service are typically available for performances at Newmark Theatre, including beverages and light refreshments. Lines can be busiest shortly before curtain and during intermission, so arriving early gives you more time to settle in before the performance begins.

For dance and theatrical productions, tickets typically range from approximately $35–$100 or more. Center orchestra and other prime locations can trend higher because of their sightlines and proximity to the stage.
