THEATRE

There’s plenty of theatre to catch over Seafair weekend — from national tours of acclaimed hits to plenty of parks shows and indoor ones, too.

This week, beat the heat with theatre in a frigid auditorium or find a shady spot at one of the many park shows.

Will this week find you enjoying the stage out in the sun, or beating the heat in an air-conditioned theatre? With so many choices, feel free to do a mix of both.

Local-meets-global dance, a memoir-in-progress reading, Tony Award-dominating musical theatre, and a totally mysterious cast kick off a very busy weekend. Plus, openings, outdoor shows, and more.

This week, outdoor theatre begins its month-long takeover, and the show that dominated the 2019 Tony Awards swoops into Seattle for a six-day run. 

This weekend cools down a hot theatre season, so enjoy a restful long weekend if you get one. But you can also rock out with a big queer musical in Olympia, and catch a handful of shows before they close. 

This week has some great options for Pride, a variety of theatre and dance festivals, and some fun shows closing soon.

This week has tons of shows closing, so be sure to catch those when you can; plus an intriguing slate of short-runs and openings worth a look.

This week, take some fantastical journeys into Wonderland, and catch a few of the many plays and musicals around town ready to match any artistic mood. 

This week, catch a highly recommended Pulitzer Prize-winning drama that just opened, a world-premiere original musical, a trans-centering film festival, and loads of ways to celebrate the moms in your life.
