BIO
One of the largest and most renowned regional theatres in the country, Seattle Repertory Theatre produces a mix of classics, recent Broadway hits and cutting-edge new works 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.
Perhaps even more importantly, the Rep has been an artistic home for countless Seattle artists. Actors like Suzanne Bouchard, David Pichette, John Aylward, R. Hamilton Wright, and many more have built their careers on our stages.
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. Through our Yes Project we continue to foster the next generation of artists.
And we were proud to receive the 1990 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre (that's one you can only win once).

Dear Readers, why do we like shows about dysfunctional families? I posit that it’s one of two reasons. Either we are reveling in knowing that your family isn’t that bad or watching as more of a catharsis of seeing a family like yours get through their dysfunction. Playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins seems to enjoy them too as he keeps making them and making them well. Last year’s Tony Award winner for Best Play was his, “Purpose”, and the year before he won the Tony for Best Revival of a Play with “Appropriate”. But whatever your reason for seeing these kinds of shows, you’ll want to catch the Seattle Rep’s current production of “Appropriate” as they’ve knocked it out of the park.

Dear Readers, we’ve all had to, or will have to, deal with an ailing loved one. But with luck that span where we devote extra time and care or even time in the hospital will be temporary and brief. A broken bone or a minor surgery, if the gods are kind. But what happens when that medical malady becomes your life? That’s where Amy Herzog’s slice-of-life play, “Mary Jane” currently at the Seattle Rep, lives. And while the show certainly had some wonderful performances and poignant moments, I left feeling a bit unsatisfied.

When the Lafayettes descend upon their late father’s crumbling plantation home for an estate sale, they unearth an appalling secret that pits them against one another. Through a cascading series of revelations, biting humor boils over into bruising conflict, and no one will escape this family gathering unscathed. Smart, incendiary, and never before produced in Seattle, this 2024 Tony Award winner by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Everybody, An Octoroon) depicts a Southern family wrestling with a destructive inheritance as they consider the legacy they want to leave for the next generation.
