About

ACT Theatre stands apart from traditional playhouses with its year-round calendar of plays, dance, music, film, burlesque, lectures, and visual art. It's a center for new ideas, not a single subscription series. The venue occupies eight floors and five distinct performance spaces in a former Elks Lodge at 7th & Union, downtown near Pike Place.

ACT pioneered a monthly membership program—the first of its kind in the nation. For $20-25 per month, members can walk into any show with a reservation or even just before curtain. The theater also hosts smaller companies and experimental work, making it a hub for Seattle's queer-friendly arts scene. If you're in the area, nearby Can Can Culinary Cabaret offers a different flavor of live entertainment.
