Why are the two theatre companies merging?
The idea of combining the two theatre companies had been brief, fleeting thoughts in the past for both companies, but several factors provided the impetus that led to the decision: • Both companies recognized that they could each build upon each others strengths and successes to better serve audiences in Seattle and across the state • Both companies are committed to producing Shakespeare and the classics • Both companies share complementary artistic aesthetics • Both companies are committed to the local actor and theatre artist community Fundamentally, the merger of the two theatre companies will make a stronger, unified organization. We will streamline administrative efforts, increase efficiency, and redirect resources into community programs and performances.
