Aladdin Theater Events

The Aladdin Theater, located at 3017 SE Milwaukie Ave in Portland, Oregon, has a rich and varied history dating back to its opening in 1928 as Geller's Theatre. Renamed the Aladdin in 1930, it initially served as a vaudeville house, hosting performers like Jack Benny. With the rise of cinema, it transitioned into a family movie theater for the next four decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Aladdin became known for screening adult films, notably being the top exhibitor of the X-rated classic "Deep Throat." The early 1990s marked another transformation when Paul Shuback purchased and renovated the theater, and by late 1993, under the promotion of Steve Reischman and Sally Custer, it emerged as a premier venue for live music and comedy. Today, owned by Mark Adler of True West LLC, the Aladdin Theater continues to be a cornerstone of Portland's entertainment scene. The theater boasts a seating capacity of approximately 600, offering an intimate setting for a diverse range of performances. Over the years, its stage has been graced by legends such as Lindsey Buckingham, Stephen Stills, Randy Newman, Ray Davies, Brian Wilson, David Crosby, Chick Corea, Richard Thompson, Herb Alpert, Johnny Winter, and Kris Kristofferson. It has also featured renowned artists in roots music, bluegrass, and folk, including Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, Emmylou Harris, Neko Case, Gillian Welch, Leo Kottke, T-Bone Burnett, and John Prine. The Aladdin has become a favored spot for comedians, hosting acts like Bill Maher, Louis C.K., Dave Attell, Jeff Dunham, Craig Ferguson, Paula Poundstone, Adam Carolla, Stephen Lynch, Jim Gaffigan, Chelsea Handler, and Aziz Ansari. Additionally, local Northwest artists such as Pink Martini, Storm Large, The Decemberists, and Death Cab for Cutie have performed there, further cementing its reputation as a versatile venue. Situated at the east end of the Ross Island Bridge, where SE Powell and SE Milwaukie intersect, the Aladdin Theater is accessible via several public transportation options, including bus lines #9, 17, 19, and 70. For patrons driving to events, parking is available in the lot on the south side of the theater after 7 PM, as well as street parking in the surrounding Brooklyn neighborhood.
