Located next to Kennedy Park, a public housing development and close to many other public housing areas, it is known for its Children's Puppet Workshop, which incorporates Portland's professional artist community and many children of immigrant families which focuses on puppetry and story-telling.

The venue, which has seating for 110 people, also hosts performances by local musicians who appreciate the building's natural acoustics. ()
