The founders of the Performing Arts Initiative have a vision to expand the culture and attractiveness of the Columbia River Gorge beyond its core of outdoor tourism, active sports, hi-tech industry and agriculture. We want to create a foundation for developing and presenting larger scale, high-end artistic performances that are on par with other, culturally vibrant communities. Our goal is the creation of a 600-seat, state-of-the-art theatre: ✔️ Showcase for a wide range of local and national talent ✔️ Lighting, sound, and stage amenities to accommodate local and touring productions ✔️ Classrooms, studio space and shop ✔️ Entrance hall for special events ✔️ Plaza for art exhibits, outdoor performances ✔️ Parking and loading dock ✔️ Entrance off Westcliff Drive, Interstate 84 exit 62
