Established in 1987, the PCPA consists of three separate buildings: the

Keller Auditorium.
Hatfield Hall itself is sometimes erroneously referred to as the Portland Center for the Performing Arts. PCPA is the fifth-largest center for performing arts in the United States, with more than 1,000 performances and one million patrons annually (as of 2007).
PCPA changed its name to "Portland'5 Centers for the Arts" in 2013. The "5" in the brand name is intended to highlight that the organization has five venues,
counting separately the three theaters that occupy Antoinette Hatfield Hall.

*Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall (2,776 seats)
