facility
The Conservatory is located just above Portland's city center in
the historic Firehouse Theatre. Students study in our
spacious Acting Studio and in the intimate 72-seat Theatre.
The Conservatory's cozy quarters allows students to interact
with staff and faculty on a daily basis with offices, studio space, and theatre all housed in the same building.
We have an onsite library, as well as a warm and inviting green
room with a full kitchen. We believe our space gives students
and performers a place to work and a home in which to relax.
