Seattle Children's Theatre, Seattle

Linda Hartzell created this wonderful theater especially for children, and it was worth the effort. Specially selected for theater, the plays and performers are top rate. There are up to nine productions during the school year—September to June—with shows performed daily for school classes and on weekends, for families. Located at Seattle Center, the state-of-the-art Seattle Children's Theatre has 280 seats, and it sponsors year-round classes and workshops for children with an interest in performing.
