Alberta Rose Theatre

Located in the heart of Northeast Portland’s vibrant Alberta Arts District, the Alberta Rose Theatre is a historic landmark originally opened in 1927 as a motion picture house. After closing in 1978, the venue was beautifully restored and reopened in 2010, preserving its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture and serene, courtyard-inspired interior. This intimate, seated listening room is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics and clear sightlines, ensuring every guest feels close to the performance. The theatre hosts an eclectic array of entertainment, from live music and circus arts to premier stand-up comedy. It is a staple of the local arts scene and the longtime recording home for the *Live Wire!* radio show. Acclaimed comedians such as Maria Bamford, Hari Kondabolu, River Butcher, and Russell Howard have all performed on its stage. For comedy fans, the Alberta Rose offers a warm, professional setting to experience top-tier talent in one of the city's most creative neighborhoods.
