Seattle Shakespeare Company is a midsize performing arts organization based in Seattle, Washington. It presents a year-round program of classical theatre, with Shakespeare and other canonical authors staged in its indoor Center House Theatre at Seattle Center. In summer, it offers free outdoor Wooden O performances in parks across King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties and operates statewide tours featuring 90-minute Shakespeare adaptations for schools and other venues, alongside education residencies, workshops, classes, and camps during school breaks. The company serves local theatergoers, families, and schools seeking accessible, professional productions of timeless plays and educational engagement. In April 2026, ACT Theatre merged with Seattle Shakespeare Company to form the Union Arts Center downtown, with Yuvika Tolani named as the first permanent artistic director there.
