Numerous music and comedy events are planned for the summer season in Portland, with tickets going on sale soon for various performances. The article highlights acts at multiple venues, including renowned artists Mumford & Sons and Trevor Noah. Meanwhile, it notes significant changes in the local arts scene, such as the closure of the Oregon Children's Theatre due to financial struggles, contrasting with new opportunities like the opening of an all-ages venue by Friends of Noise and a second showroom at Helium Comedy Club.
The much-loved Oregon Children's Theatre will halt operations including camps, classes, in-school programs, and the Young Professionals Company at the end of this summer, citing financial issues and cultural damage from the pandemic.
