Seattle Shakespeare Company is the Puget Sound region’s year-round, professional, classical theatre. The company’s growing success stems from a deep belief in the power and vibrancy of the time-tested words and ideas of Shakespeare and other classical playwrights, along with a commitment to artistic excellence on stage. The results have been provocative performances that both challenge and delight audiences while fostering an appreciation for great stage works. Their combined programs—which include indoor performances, free outdoor productions, regional tours, educator and youth programs—reach across barriers of income, geography and education to bring classical theatre to Washington State.
