During the 2008-09 season, the Seattle Rep company engaged in a series of conversations about the best ways to define our work: where did we come from and where are we going? After much dialogue with the board and artistic staff, we have created this cohesive statement of mission and vision.
Seattle Repertory Theatre creates productions and programs that surprise, entertain, challenge and uplift our community through a shared act of imagination.
In 1963, a group of theatre lovers created Seattle Rep as a foundation for a thriving arts-rich community. Nearly 50 years later, Seattle Rep remains a vital source for creative thought and conversation, a place where the audience brings life to the stories we tell. As we reach new audiences and deepen relationships with our long-time patrons, we welcome and take care of all who come though our doors—there is room for everyone.
When we plan our seasons, we think big. Our scale is reflected in the ideas, emotions, and breadth of perspectives presented on stage. Through the voices of a diverse range of playwrights, we take Seattle audiences on globe-spanning journeys, while speaking to the issues that resonate with their lives here in the Northwest.
Whether dreaming up a new work or re-imagining a classic, Seattle Rep is the place where anything can happen. Our resources and reputation invite actors, directors, designers and theatre professionals at the top of their craft. The caliber of our resident staff along with the technical capacity of our theatre spaces and shops make Seattle Rep a creative playground for artists and audiences—a place for unlimited imagination.
