My first time at this theater was to see Ride the Cyclone. I was very impressed with this venue, it isnt very large, but the set up was great. It looked like you would have a great view of the small stage from any seat. The seats were pretty comfortable as well. The entrance was right across the street from Union Square garage which is also nice. I could also tell that a lot of work went into the stage design for this show and I look forward to seeing another performance here.

Upon entering through the Convention Center, we were guided via hallways, to the theatre proper, greeted warmly, and directed to the floor where our play was to unfold. Beautiful seasonal decorations fill the foyer, providing a perfect backdrop for our traditional photo, and we joined other excited patrons into the round, in anticipation of going back in time to join Ebenezer Scrooge, and follow along while he learns some very valuable lessons. Each time we attend this play, the words are the same, yet each Company and new Director interprets just a bit differently, giving a new spin on the age old practice of treating people the way you want to be treated. The entire experience is refreshing and fills my heart with gratitude that we are able to enjoy such a production locally.

Wonderful theater and great location. We had a beautiful experience. VERY accessible with a conscientious team. Has screens for hearing impaired.

This venue is Amazing! Your up close no matter where you sit. We saw A Christmas Carol and we were blown away at the talent. Definitely making this a family tradition. I cant wait to see another play here soon.

A Christmas Carol just makes you feel like youre part of it in this awesome Christmas Tale. The actors of always been good as its our third time over the US and I recommend this to all as part of the Christmas celebration with your family. I may check out other things that go on here but I will say it was very enjoyable

Annual tradition to attend A Christmas Carol play. Love that seating is in the round because it doesnt matter where your seat is, youll have a great view. Comfortable, very helpful people work here. Its a cozy theater, plenty of restrooms, always a great time.

AMAZING production of A Christmas Carol! Brilliant Cast & Crew!! A MUST SEE; Every Year!!

My family and I love going to this theater. We especially love seeing performances in their round theater on the top floor. It is very convenient to get to there from the Convention Center parking garage.

Our annual Christmas Carol play... we love the theatre and actors so much! Weve made such great, great memories, for sure go, you wont be sorry!

Theater in round is unique. I do like it. One star down due to chilly temperature in theater. Otherwise, dont forget to look up when you are there and fully appreciate the room youre in.

Saw the play A Christmas Carol.Excellent production, fantastic cast, a really enjoyable experience!The venue is close and tight. Almost interactive. Not a bad seat in the house - seriously.A 10 out of 10!Id highly recommend seeing this.

ACT has been one of my favorite theater venues for many years. We took friends to Dina Martina this year and we all decided to make it an anual outing to uplift our holiday spirits. Having a light dinner at the Cheesecake Factory bar, just a block away, before the show works perfectly for us.

I highly recommend getting a subscription- great deals! I can only commit to 3 or 4 plays a season, but the ticket office is wonderfully accommodating, changing dates when I can’t make it. They are always incredibly kind. Great selection of plays.

We’ve seen the Christmas Carol at the Act Theatre 10+ times over the years. This year they used less people and it didn’t have the energy as previous years. Some years we’re definitely a 5 star. We heard others saying the same thing.

Went to The Christmas Carol. Loved the play, and loved the setting of this theater. You can see the stage from every seat! The actors/actresses did a great job! Well worth seeing

Went and saw Dracula in October 2019. From the friendly team of ushers and host, to the quaint historic layout of the waiting area, the staff here makes getting into your show enjoyable. From there it only gets better, there isnt a single bad seat in the house, and the show was absolutely fantastic. Definitely a must visit if you enjoy theatre in Seattle.

The staff is very nice, the facilities are clean and the plays are great! We went to see the Christmas Carol with our kids and we all had a great time. The parking can be costly, but it is Seattle.

Awesome venue for smaller performances. The history and feel of the building is very intriguing and inviting. Great acoustics!

I always enjoy the plays at the act theatre. Stories told with theatrics and care to tell the stories of great writers. Statements of morality and warnings of failure. These are the very best of dramatic plays- they make you think about life and point out the failures of greed, lust and power.

Loved the small theater. Allowed great seats for all. Great performance. Stage effects were great!

One of Seattles quality theatre establishments. ACT puts on a variety of great productions, often with diverse casts. Worth checking out.

Great atmosphere. Not a bad seat in the house. The performance of A Christmas Carol was wonderful.

Such a unique space! We were lucky enough to be in the front row and the actors were so close we felt part of the show. It was intimate and spectacular.

Saw Devi in the round. Fabulous! Sitting in the front row we could see all the jewelry, beautiful costumes, and expressions. This is a must see if you like Indian dancing and music. The theme of a powerful woman was very heart warming. I didnt want it to end. Transported back in time.

ACT is a fabulous theater company performing in a wonderful performance complex. Weve seen a couple of World Premiere plays here that were as good as anything Ive seen in New York, LA, San Francisco, Chicago or Ashland.

We saw a one actress performance of The Year of Magical Thinking. She was extraordinary. The play was good but not great. Still the entire experience offered a reminder of just why we return to ACT. one special plus is that I have hearing issues and at ACT I am provided with a nifty closed caption screen at my seat that helps me catch any word I may have missed.

I saw A Christmas Carol and it was such the perfect setting for it. Up close and personal and intimate. The space is great to watch the show from anywhere in the theater. Highly recommend you take in a show of you ha e the chance. You wont regret it. The performance and performers are top notch

We love this theater. They offer a great student deal. There isnt a bad seat in the house.

BenDeLaCremes Halloween show is absolutely fantastic and beautiful. Please see in this theatre! Its so easy to access and plenty of places around for grab a quick bite.

Love this intimate venue! Selection of plays and performers are top notch.

Went to see the play, Queen. A fictional, one act play about academic scientific research on bees where questions of scientific evidence and loyalty to colleagues clash in a thought-filled and heart-felt story. Excellently acted by all of the cast with some wonderful humor between a young Indian couple who have been matched by their parents. Highly recommend it. Playing through the 19th of August.

This place is a great experience. The stage is neat and the cast was tremendous!

Attended Christmas Carol and it was very well done. Great theater, great performance, great fun.

I work at ACT and every day that I go to work, I love it. Also, every day that I go to work, Google asks me about it. The plays are really good, too.

ASDFHSKFJ SO AMAZING!! The acting was phenomenal and the sets were awesome!!! I saw Dracula and it was incredible.

Saw Over 140 lbs a great one-woman show

An iconic theater on Union in Seattle. Find a play that peaks your interest and enjoy the intimate setting. Than walk to dinner and share your thoughts in conversation!

A Christmas Carol @ the ACT Theater never gets old... only gets better ☆☆☆☆☆

Great set and performance for Urinetown. Well done

A great theater experience every time weve visited.

In the age of virtual reality Im glad the act theater is here. Classy, classic and clever, we saw a great intimate version of a Christmas Carol in a way that kept Dickens dream alive and anew in the hearts and minds of children and adults alike. I hope to be able to see many more shows in the future.

This is a seriously awesome theater hosting bold performances. Highly recommend.

Visited from out of town to see a theatrical production. Excellent venue and wonderful show. ASL interpreters were provided. Clean restrooms, comfortable seating, elevator to upper floors.

We saw Dina and the show was top notch and the staff was great!

The Annual Christmas Carol is a family tradition for our family. So much so, my four sons all took their girl friends on joint date to see it. The Allen Theatre in the round is intimate and engaging. Dont miss the Sheraton Hotel Gingerbread Houses after the play next door!

Love this theater! Really interesting shows and a unique set that allows plays to do unqiue things (while simultaneously adding a lot of set challenges, Im sure). Highly recommend plays here above any other theater in Seattle. Quite a bit less traditional than the typical theater, for sure.

Fantastic professional theatre from Seattles best artists.

The Allen Theater is an awesome venue in a historic building.

The place was packed, and rightly so as the staff was very nice but the talent was unbelievable. Lots of stairs to get to but easy to get in and out of. Also, there is an elevator if needed.

Very nice venue to watch live plays or shows! Seats are placed well above the row in front and angled toward the center of the stage. Great way to watch without straining or looking around someone and nothing to get in the way! Loved it!

Ive been attending performances here since I was a child. Always a fantastic experience.

Director John Langs is always inventive, incisive and frequently revelatory.

The theater itself was first rate. Urinetown the story not great. The actors were first rate. They put so much into their expressions I would be surprised if their faces did not hurt after each show!

LOVED DINA! BATHROOMS WERE VERY CLEAN

Love this theatre they always have great shows!

Love Christmas Carol! I go every year! Beats the socks off the Nutcracker!!!

Saw Dina Martinas show. Great, cozy theater, no bad seats and helpful volunteers.

Nice place and the show was great. You must visit once and definitely you are not going to regret it. Performance was too good and I will be back again.

Not a bad seat in the place! Great performance and easy parking

The seating is weird but endlessly charming and allows for some fantastic entrances. For its capacity easily my favorite theater experience.

Bought the teen tix pass and went to see the deaf Romeo and Juliet play. It was incredible! I dont know about the other plays yet but Id recommend this one.

ACT theater has produced some of my favorite productions over the years. I appreciate their support for new plays, supporting a company of actors, a choosing great plays that tell meaningful stories.

A couple nice theaters, a wide variety of plays. From old standards to premiers, from established actors to debut theater grads, there is great diversity but always a polished production and a nice evening. Great discounts available if you buy a play package.

Have been subscribers for 46 years, excellent theatre with quite the variety of genres.

I like the theater, but it can be hard to find if you havent been there before. Make sure to plan extra time to park and walk through the random tangle of the convention center to get there, particularly if you or anyone in your group cant do stairs. It is multiple elevator rides through a few different connected buildings to get there from the parking.

Beautiful comfortable contemporary theatre space.

Is there a perfectly sized theatre? It may be this one. Small enough to be intimately close to the performance, large enough to be a full audience experience. Checking there upcoming performance schedule!

The service was outstanding and the food was delish. We will be back. The only reason we didnt give 5 stars is because it was a bit more pricey than we were expecting.

I go about once a year. Nice selection of acts. Good view from any seat.

Good venue, good location, great shows!

This is my favorite theater venue hands down. No bad seats, innovative, and great talent. Cant wait for Dracula this fall!!

Small & intimate theatre near Seattle conference centre. Surprisingly good plays acted with pretty small cast & budgets. Varied show options over the season. Refreshments available.

Outstanding theater we have been subscribers since the 80s. I recommend the Act Pass you can enjoy main stage, Act Lab and a variety performances by local smaller theater groups.

This theater space is giant, with several different theaters inside. Really nice vibes across several levels. Excited to see shows there.

Marvelous playhouse. All the seats have great views. Its totally accessable. They sell drinks and maybe snacks, but I dont go to the theater to eat or drink, so cant comment on the selection. The plays are well produced and very good.

Great venue with a very helpful staff.

Great theater. Intimate so all seats are good.

ACT has amazing plays and awesome architecture. Great place and easy access!

Romeo and Juliet was wonderful. Exciting. Mix of hearing and deaf actors worked extremely well!

Great venue to see shows. ALL the seats are great seats!

They stage a great variety of theater.

So cool. Saw urine town. It was awesome. I feel cultured and confused. I love it.

Great production! (I saw Urinetown). There doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house, but they are pretty close together, fyi.

Saw Urinetown. Was super funny! Great actors and energy. Enjoyed the show!

Saw Pass Over on its opening night. Great show, great theater, wonderful experience overall.

Great venue , theater in the round. Saw A Christmas Carol. Very good show, went very fast. Easy parking near by

A Seattle gem, independent local theater and creative productions, principally using local professional talent.

We love this theater. Every play has been wonderful so far. Looking forward to many, many more.

Great facility. Thoughtful programming.

Theater is intimate and exciting. However, the seats in the back did not have armrests, cupholders, and the view was somewhat obstructed by the people in the row directly ahead. Avoid those seats!

I love how small and intimate was this theater. Christmas Carol was beautiful and touching.. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful venue and really interesting variety of shows.

Went for 14:48, it was very fun. Lots of great energy and a neat vibe. At the event, they had drinks available both to take in first and to pre-order for the intermission. Some people in the audience can get a little annoying with talking over plays or laughing too hard over jokes before theyre done, but thats a minor nit for me.

Bewear terror of Galord Manor was so much fun!!!

Awesome theater. We have been subscribers for many many years. Totally love every production. Many time the productions are not just enjoyable but thought provoking also.

Great place to see theatre. Intimate setting

Wonderful theatre with exciting and diverse productions and access to affordable parking in the Convention Center in the evening. I love ACT!

Lovely venue in downtown Seattle.

Saw A Christmas Carol it was great! They change it up each year! Its our family tradition.

High quality productions in a nice theater that is fairly large but feels smaller.
