Minors OK when accompanied by a parent or guardian
Doors open at 6:30 | Tickets

How can a person be an instrument of navigation? How much do we rely on technology? Where are we? How do we find a path through the world? These are some of the questions Holcombe is wrangling in his newest song-cycle and theatre piece, “Wayfinders.”

Portland Sound Check

Saturday is your chance for one big guilty pleasure. Remember Sanjaya Malakar? Yeah, right, ok. He was one of the most popular contestants on American Idol. His audition on American Idol, Season 6 advanced him to becoming a national household name. The Aladdin is the place for Portland Soundcheck which is an all-you can-hear sampler of local music on the cusp, as well as artists from national successes such as “The Voice,” “American Idol” and various MTV programs.. One of our faves, Sarah Billings, will play. Not to be missed. Tickets

Here Comes the Season. (Ready or Not)

Opening Sunday November 24, “The Santaland Diaries” is a holiday classic that’s on the dark side, because, well, it’ s David Sedaris’ account of working as an elf at a Manhattan Macy’s during the Christmas season. Both funny and very Sedaris. Outlandish and true. And funny!
