Merrill Auditorium is a historic concert and theatre venue in downtown Portland, Maine. The restored auditorium has approximately 1,900 seats and is one of the recognizable cultural landmarks of the city's Arts District. Its programme includes symphony concerts, theatrical performances, touring productions and other live events, while the large Kotzschmar Memorial Organ is one of the hall's most distinctive features.
Inside, the venue follows the traditional layout of a performing arts hall, with a dedicated stage and multi-level seating designed to provide clear views for musical and theatrical productions. Visitors can benefit from facilities including concessions, accessible seating and assisted-listening devices, while the historic surroundings give performances a more formal atmosphere than a typical multipurpose arena.
The venue is located at 20 Myrtle Street, Portland, Maine 04101, United States, next to Portland City Hall in the central part of the city. The auditorium entrance is on Myrtle Street, with parking options available in nearby streets and garages.
