Hollywood Theatre ED (left) with members of the Hollywood NA

The Hollywood Neighborhood Association donates to the Hollywood Theatre to jumpstart the historic theatre's campaign to install a new marquee. The neighborhood has been a supporter of this Portland landmark designed in the style of the old one from 1926. The campaign is for improvements at the old movie palace.

 

"We want to show Portland we value the theater. We encourage everyone who loves the arts, Hollywood, and cool buildings to contribute as well."
