Many of Seattle's historic venues in the downtown area have been welcoming large numbers of audience members for decades. The combination of these historic buildings' architectural beauty along with their current productions makes each show memorable and enjoyable long before it begins.

In addition to various types of performances such as plays, musicals, comedies, etc., these historic venues also host a wide variety of events and performances throughout the year, including but not limited to:

Each event helps build upon Seattle's rich cultural heritage and provides local artists from around the nation and abroad with a platform to showcase their talents.
