Seattle Repertory Theatre creates extraordinary productions and programs that excite, entertain, and engage our community and nourish a lifelong passion for theatre. One of the largest and most renowned regional theatres in the country, Seattle Repertory Theatre produces a mix of classic comedies, recent Broadway hits and cutting-edge new dramas in two theatre spaces. Since our founding in 1963, actors like Lawrence Fishburne, Lily Tomlin, Samuel L. Jackson, Meryl Streep, Richard Gere, Richard Chamberlain, Jessica Tandy, Christopher Walken and many more have all walked the boards" at the Rep. We've premiered plays by August Wilson, Neil Simon, John Patrick Shanley, Wendy Wasserstein, Sarah Ruhl and many others, and some of the world's top directors, designers and artisans have brought our shows to life. And since we're sharing, we also won the 1990 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. And we're proud to say that's one you can only win once."
