Seattle Repertory Theatre

Seattle Repertory Theatre is a theatre company at Seattle Center that produces eight main stage productions each season across two performance spaces. The building features two venues of different sizes designed to accommodate various types of theatrical productions.

The theatre opened in 1963 and grew into a recognized stage for American theatre. In 1990, the organization received a Regional Theatre Tony Award, one of the highest honors in American theatre.

The theatre stages works across various artistic traditions and cultural perspectives, from classical plays to contemporary pieces that bring diverse stories to the stage. This range of productions reflects the community's engagement with different voices and experiences in theatre.

The two venues have different capacities and layouts, so it helps to check the current programme to see which production is in which space. Planning ahead and accounting for travel to Seattle Center is useful, since it is a large, central cultural complex.

The theatre works closely with local artists and includes a programme for developing new plays that stages experimental and emerging works. This focus on new work allows audiences to discover innovative pieces that are still finding their place in theatre.
