Discover Antoinette Hatfield Hall, a vibrant 127,000-square-foot performing arts complex located in Portland, Oregon. Formerly known as the New Theatre Building, this impressive facility opened in 1987 at a cost of $28.4 million and forms an integral part of the Portland'5 Centers for the Arts alongside Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and Keller Auditorium. Dedicated in honor of Antoinette Hatfield, former First Lady of Oregon and wife of U.S.
Senator Mark Hatfield, the venue houses three distinct, beautifully designed theatres under one roof. When you visit, you will explore the Edwardian-style Newmark Theatre, an 880-seat space where every guest enjoys an intimate view no more than 65 feet from the stage. You can also experience the 304-seat Dolores Winningstad Theatre, a flexible courtyard-style venue made possible by a generous donation from Norman Winningstad.
Finally, check out the Brunish Theatre, a versatile 200-capacity black box venue configured for everything from theatrical performances to meetings, conferences, and dinners. Built by a collaborative architectural team, Hatfield Hall delivers exceptional theatrical experiences in downtown Portland.
