It is indeed a “marquee day” for Portland’s historic Hollywood Theatre! Our bright new marquee, recently installed by Security Signs, is based on the design of the Hollywood Theatre’s original 1926 marquee. It’s a sign that will light up the neighborhood for generations to come.
Watch video of the countdown and lighting on September 5th, 2013!
The new neon, illuminated sign is the latest sequel to many other Theatre improvements. New auditorium seats, digital projection systems, screens and sound systems were recently installed as well as a fresh coat of paint inside and out (done by pro-bono worker extraordinaire Joel Hamberg.) The marquee was funded by grant funders, businesses and over 1,100 people who donated to a Kickstarter campaign. See the full list of donors below.
“This new marquee will be a great addition to the community and help the Theatre recapture its former glory as a cultural icon in Portland,” says Doug Whyte, Hollywood Theatre Executive Director. “Now all we need are more members to support the Theatre and help us continue to improve this beautiful historic building as well as providing unique events, entertainment and youth education.”
The Theatre is now actively seeking new members to keep momentum rolling. Members can receive discounted admission (and free admission at certain levels), guest passes and invitations to free monthly member events – not to mention the respect and envy of their friends. Word has begun to spread nationally about the unique programming offered at the Hollywood Theatre. With more members, the Hollywood can expand their offerings and reputation.

Thanks to all of our marquee donors!
