Vote delayed for proposed Broadway theater at PSU

PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - A vote on a proposed new Broadway theater venue at Portland State University was delayed Tuesday. This comes as Portlanders remain divided on whether to create a new venue or renovate the Keller Auditorium.

“It’s like building another new shiny object, like another new part, that we build but we don’t have the money to take care of it,” said Bob Naito, who is against the new Broadway-capable venue.

Portlanders are divided over whether the city should invest in a new Broadway theater venue on Portland State’s campus.

“We’ve been in the dulled room for many years and I think it’s time to turn that around, and I think this project will tell the world and tell people here that yes we are capable of doing great things,” said Linda McKim-Bell, who supports the new venue.
