Perseverance Theatre, Professional theatre in Douglas Island, Juneau, United States.
Perseverance Theatre is a professional stage with two venues in Juneau, presenting productions from September through May. The main theatre holds about 138 seats, while a second space allows for additional performances alongside the primary season.
Founder Molly Smith established this theatre in 1979 as the first professional theatre company in Juneau. The organization later expanded to serve audiences across multiple regions in Alaska.
The theatre has become a central venue for local artists and writers, regularly presenting works by playwrights from Alaska and beyond. Visitors experience a connection to regional stories and perspectives that come alive through its productions.
The venue is located on Douglas Island and remains accessible during the season, with performances scheduled across weekends and weekdays. Check the schedule in advance and book tickets early, as popular shows often fill quickly.
The theatre has partnered with the University of Alaska Southeast since 2001, offering theatre education programs and a university minor degree in theatre studies. This partnership brings professional production together with academic teaching under one roof.
