I’ve been hoping this day would come ever since I first visited Portland and saw the empty State Theatre… the photo gallery below will take you inside (with LOTS of images) and give a preview of what you can see in person beginning with the grand opening this weekend. After 4 years, it all starts with My Morning Jacket (sold out) on Friday, moe. on Saturday, and a local music showcase/open house/Portland Music Foundation launch on Sunday. Welcome back (and thank you to Lauren Wayne!) Read on for photos!
Click any photo to start viewing the gallery. Check out an audio sneak preview tour courtesy of Roy Ghim (Liberation By Sound) while you look to get a bit of background on what you’re looking at.
See also: this video advertising the open house on Sunday. Pretty funny.
you didnt take pics of what everyone is dying to see the most: the new bathrooms! hahah
I had to leave something for you to see for yourself!
Thanks for the tour, it looks great all cleaned up.
That poster with all the badly drawn waves is pretty cool!
[…] to open! The landmark State Theatre, vacant for four years and now thoroughly renovated (see photo gallery from HillyTown), will open its doors again Friday for a sold-out performance by My Morning Jacket. […]
