Seattle Public Theater is dedicated to creating community through the performing arts. Seattle Public stewards the historic Bathhouse Theater as a community resource, venue for intimate, dynamic theater, and a regionally recognized youth drama program.
Description:
We act out of a belief that building a strong arts event, program, or organization is inextricably connected to building a strong neighborhood and city.
Seattle Public Theater is proud to steward the Bathhouse. The intimacy of the space combined with the immediacy of our presence in a public park is our mandate to involve audiences and provide ownership while maintaining a high quality of professional work.
Seattle Public seeks to be a place to showcase Seattle's vibrant artistic community, and to share these artists' energy, talent, and drive with audiences and students.
Seattle Public's Youth Drama Program challenges expectations of what kids are capable of by offering them professional resources, maximizing ownership and responsibility, and approaching each project with a spirit of inclusiveness, fun, and faith in their ability to succeed beyond their own imaginations.
Seattle Public is committed to: plays with strong rhythm, character, and juicy text; plays that tell stories that allow us to feel more deeply, to reflect on ourselves and community; plays that challenge our expectations and allow us to dream; plays that leave us talking in the parking lot.
History:
Founded in 1988, Seattle Public Theater was originally a small company that primarily toured plays in local Seattle public schools and worked with adult and at-risk youth populations to create socially conscious theater. In 2000, Seattle Public was chosen by the City of Seattle in a competitive bidding process to be the resident theater company at the historic Bathhouse. Since then Seattle Public has had a remarkable rebirth to become one of Seattle's premiere mid-sized theaters, renowned for both an ambitious education program as well as high-quality professional productions.
