The Scottish Rite Center

709 SW 15th Ave
Portland, OR 97205

This year we are returning to the Scottish Rite, our long time home through 2012. We are thrilled to be returning to this historic building that has created so many magical Revels memories. Below is some information about the venue – read on to learn more about what to expect and what we have planned for this year!

Where is the Scottish Rite?

The Scottish Rite is located in SW Goose Hollow neighborhood, not far from Providence park to the west and Interstate 405 to the east. It is a historical building that is now reopening as a performance space available for rent. The street address is 709 SW 15th Avenue.

Where should I park?

Street parking around the Scottish Rite is extremely limited. Parking is metered from 8am-7pm Monday-Saturday, and 1-7pm on Sundays. There are also a number of paid parking lots within walking distance of the Scottish Rite. Click HERE for addresses and links to several of them. We strongly encourage using public transport if possible.

How do I get to the theatre if I am not driving?

A number of bus lines as well as the light rail are all accessible within a few blocks of the Scottish Rite, including:

The Blue & Red Line (Providence Park)
Bus lines 15, 18, 20, 24, 26 & 63

What time should I arrive, where do I go and what should I expect?

We encourage patrons to arrive between 20 and 35 minutes BEFORE curtain time. This will help to prevent a long line from forming outside of the building, and get you and your party in out of the cold more quickly. It will also give you time to visit our gift shop and purchase concessions!

Come to the main door on SW Morrison to check in by last name. Please have either your digital tickets pulled up or printed tickets in hand when you arrive at the theatre so that we can check you in quickly, and our ushers can help you find your seats.

There are two seating areas – the main floor and the balcony. It is important to note that seating in the balcony is NOT ADA accessible.

Where are the bathrooms in the Scottish Rite Center?

There are bathrooms located on each level of the Scottish Rite – the first floor, down a few steps from the entrance, the main floor of the performance space, as well as on the balcony level.

Can we purchase food and drink on site? What else is available in the lobby?

We will be offering concessions this year, including candy and other snacks, as well as water and soft drinks. These will be available in the ballroom downstairs from the performance space. Intermission orders can be taken and paid for before the show begins, and will be available for pick up at the start of intermission.

In addition, our annual gift shop and raffle will be open starting 30 minutes before each performance, as well as during intermission. The gift shop will feature work by local artisans, including many members of the Revels community! Bread & Roses clothing and other items will also be available to order. Stay tuned for more about our raffle prizes!

Is the space ADA accessible?

All floors of the Scottish Rite are ADA accessible via an elevator. The ADA Accessible entrance is on Morrison street, to the west of the main door. An usher will greet you and escort you to the elevator to access the ballroom and/or performance space. The ADA entrance is available for any patrons who are not comfortable navigating stairs. Please contact our box office at boxoffice@portlandrevels.org if you plan to use the entrance and are not buying a wheelchair seat. Box office will contact you with more information as we get closer to performances. Anyone who is unable or uncomfortable navigating stairs should purchase tickets on the main floor.

If a member of my party uses a wheelchair or has mobility challenges, what should they expect?

All patrons who purchase wheelchair and companion seats will be contacted by our Box Office in order to discuss your arrival and ensure that your experience in the theatre is comfortable, straightforward and enjoyable! This service will also be provided to any patron who contacts us about using the ADA entrance.

Anyone who does not want to/is unable to navigate stairs is welcome to use the ADA entrance. If a member of your party plans to use the ADA entrance, but is NOT purchasing an ADA seat, please contact our Box Office at 503-274-4654 to let us know.

The ADA entrance is staffed with an usher who will greet patrons at the ADA entrance and escort them to the elevator that will take them to the performance space. Once there, additional ushers will show you to your seats. At the end of the performance, members of the front-of-house team will escort folks to the elevator, and there will be additional staff waiting to support your exit out of the building via the ADA entrance/exit.

The main floor seating, ballroom and all bathrooms are all fully accessible. Please note that the balcony is NOT ADA accessible. Anyone who is unable or uncomfortable navigating stairs should purchase tickets on the main floor.

Artistic Director Transition

The Board of Directors of Portland Revels would like to share that Artistic Director Bruce Hostetler will be retiring from his position at the end of 2025. Since 2011, Bruce has helmed our Midwinter Revels production, transporting audiences to Appalachia, England, Ireland, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Renaissance Italy, and igniting the magical light of Revels across traditions past and present. In addition to Midwinter Revels, under Bruce’s guidance and vision, we have launched three additional programs – Children’s Revels (2016), Spring Revels (2019), and Community Chorus (2024) which have helped us share the Revels values of community and inclusivity with a wider audience.

Reflecting on his tenure, Bruce shared “Being a part of the Revels community and creating within this model has been the highlight of my work in the performing arts. I treasure the memories, and dear friends, I have made in my fourteen years with Revels. I want to thank Robert and Betsy, the current team of Lauren, Dan and Lynn, my many artistic collaborators, the Board, and the larger Revels community for their continuing dedication and support. I’m looking forward to participating in Portland Revels events for years to come.”

Bruce’s passion, positivity, artistry and compassion have seen the Revels community through many seasons of change, including four venues, a global pandemic, and multiple leadership transitions. His many years of dedication will leave Revels a stronger, kinder, more resilient and inclusive organization. We are so grateful for all that he has done to grow the Portland Revels, while remaining true to the heart of the organization.

In the coming weeks, the Board of Directors will convene and establish a search and selection process, which will include opportunities for involvement and input from you, the Revels community. When this planning phase is complete, we look forward to sharing it with you, and to posting the position and accepting applications.

The Board is committed to a collaborative hiring process, and to keeping you informed as we proceed. We look forward to sharing more details soon—and to working together to welcome the next artistic leader of Portland Revels!

Land Acknowledgement

Our community owes its existence and vitality to those who came before us, who stewarded the land through the changing seasons for millennia and whose lives created the story that has led us to this moment.

We recognize that the City of Portland sits on the unceded traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Tumwater, Watlala bands of the Chinook, the Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and many others who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We offer our respect and appreciation to the generations of Indigenous people that came before and to those who continue to actively work to care for the land. Today, Portland’s diverse and vibrant Native communities are 70,000 strong, descended from more than 380 Tribes, both local and distant.

We invite you all to take a moment to consider the many legacies that bring us together in community.

Anti-Discrimination Policy

Portland Revels does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, age or religion in regard to participation in any of its activities or hiring policies: as a volunteer, contract employee, or administrative staff.

Antiracist Statement

Portland Revels celebrates our human connectedness throughout all seasons of the year, and aims to honor a multitude of cultures and backgrounds. We commit to being allies to all people. We embrace the work we must do to recognize our own implicit biases and cultural blind spots, and to dismantle structural barriers within our organization. We strive to educate ourselves and to engage in authentic exchanges of ideas and worldviews. We believe that nurturing a safe space is not enough, but that we need to further our commitment by fostering brave spaces where individuals can authentically and respectfully challenge one another, generating conversation and further education.

We commit to being people who promote active anti-racist measures on interpersonal, societal, and institutional levels, within our organization and elsewhere. As with the cyclical pattern of the seasons, we recognize the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of this work, and enthusiastically commit to it.

How We Are Fulfilling Our Commitment*

Actively solicit feedback from individuals who work with us (artists, contractors, community partners, staff, etc.).
Invest in education and resources for internal stakeholders to broaden knowledge and understanding of active anti-racist and IDEA practices.
Individually cultivate the ability to examine, reflect, and take responsibility for our own personal journeys.
Seek out, engage, and uplift BIPOC voices and those of other marginalized communities.

* With license to grow and evolve!

Take Joy!

Portland Revels celebrates the seasons through song, dance, story and ritual of the past and present, creating community across generations and cultures.

Happening Now!

Join us to enjoy a drink, a bite to eat and the chance to sing chilling, thrilling and autumnal songs together in celebration of the season. Costumes STRONGLY encouraged.

This year`s Midwinter Revels centers on folks newly arrived in the US at the start of the 20th century. Which got us curious about the forebears of our own Revels community members. Today, we`re excited to post the first in our line-up of Ancestor Features! Read all about Bertha and Joseph - where they came from, why they came to the United States, and what they did once they were here.

Can you guess whose ancestors these are? Swipe to the end to find out!
