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, shows about overcoming adversity are not a new thing. It’s pretty much a staple of many storylines. But what has been coming up more and more are the shows about overcoming a physical adversity. Of course there’s one of my favorites, “Hairspray” dealing with racism and body positivity. There’s the recent “How to Dance in Ohio” about autistic teens at a school dance. And then there’s “Kimberly Akimbo” with the teen girl who ages so fast she looks like she’s in her 60’s. And what all these physical malady shows have in common is they strive to push those emotional buttons of ours. And now along comes “Freak the Mighty” at the Seattle Rep, in conjunction with Cleveland Play House. A new World Premiere musical that gleefully pushes those buttons to wonderful effect. And while those buttons are pushed eliciting many a sniffle or tear in the audience, the show could use some tightening up to become truly mighty.
