ABOUT the LAURELHURST
The Laurelhurst Theater became part of Portland's cultural and architectural history when it first opened in 1923. Built by Walter Tebbetts (who later built the Hollywood and Roseway theaters) the Laurelhurst had just one screen and a pipe organ. The original single screen could seat 650 people and was one of the first art deco style theaters of the period. The theater has undergone many renovations and now offers four auditoriums with modern amenities and still maintains its classic appeal. Now celebrating our 25th year as a theater and pub, bringing the best of modern cinema, independent, art and classic film to Portland's movie lovers. Thank you Portland!

LAURELHURST THEATER COVID19 PRECAUTIONS
We are continuing to monitor the situation and will adjust our policies as needed. We still encourage everyone who can, to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Additionally, the Oregon Health Authority still recommends masking for people at higher risk from COVID-19, including unvaccinated people and immunocompromised people.
Masks Optional
We are no longer requiring the use of masks, though anyone who wishes to wear a mask is welcome to do so in our theater.
Hand Sanitizer is available in the lobby and at the entrance to each auditorium.
Employees are trained on CDC guidelines for COVID19 safety and are fully vaccinated.
Upgraded HVAC systems
All ventilation in the theater has been upgraded with commercial grade air filtration. This includes Photohydroionization, Ionization and HEPA filters. (The same type of systems that are used in hospitals and doctors’ offices) This helps to reduce Viruses, Bacteria, Molds, Odors and Particulates.
