The Paris Theatre (6 SW 3rd Ave. Portland, OR 97204), erected in 1890, has long been known as Portland’s most notorious stage for scandal and spectacle. The venue has been carefully renovated by the artistic team behind Can Can, who, for twenty years, have redefined nightlife in the Pacific Northwest.
The company has earned accolades like “Best Theatre Company”, the BBC even describing the experience as “a world better than anything in London”. Now Can Can is bringing its enduring legacy of glitz and glam to Portland.
