Everything youve heard about The Seattle Public Theater is true. The floors are sticky, the projection is shaky, the seats are creaky, and you cant go to a crowded show without some Warriors bench player sitting in front of you blocking your view. But despite all this, it also happens to be without a doubt my favorite place in the city.

We went to Seattle Public Theater and attended the Water Lantern Festival. Ratings are because we had fun. It’s pretty much open for public. Except if you want to join the launch of the lanterns buy it online it’s cheaper if you get it early. First, Parking... it’s street parking they closed the public parking they should’ve opened half of the parking lot, food trucks occupied so much space. They should invite a couple more local businesses selling goodies. Stage it’s beside the theater it’s kind of weird but it’s ok, suggestion maybe next time they can do a floating stage.

Great little place. Good shows and a friendly front office. Have seen three plays here and they have all been very enjoyable. Pretty good coffee also.

A Very Die Hard Christmas was absolutely incredible. I loved the intimacy of the space and friendliness of the staff. This was my first time, in from out of town, and I cant wait to see another performance here. Bravo!

Wonderful, small local theatre. Always has great, professional theatre and lovely atmosphere and even more so for the staff. Hoping they stay thriving as they welcome in a new director!

Weve seen a couple holiday plays here, and its a really great little spot. The actors are excellent, and the venue is cozy and naturally pulls you into the goings on on stage. Definitely would return for more shows.

Very cool, little community theater. The seats are small so you get cozy with your neighbors. Convenient parking located nearby.

Cute and cuddly with just enough room for the actors and the crowd. We watched Diehard and it was hilarious! We will go back again. People were friendly! Eat before you arrive and show up early if you want a drink. The line is amazingly slow.

Been attending their plays for years, from theater originals such as Christmastown to productions such as the Die Hard Christmas Comedy. Highly recommend stopping in for any of their shows. (Ive been to many others, but these two were my favorites.

Just an Awesome Setting for a Show.With Obviously a great area to relax or walk,.. Before, After or Anytime. It is Greenlake after all. And cant remember Anyone that Didnt Enjoy their evenings. Which brings to mind if they have events during the day. Weve never been to one. Now I have to look at the Whole Summer Schedule lol.( they do : )Always Fun. For performers and viewers alike. Parking in this area is usually pretty good by the way. ENJOY...not sure if its OK to post show pictures...So,.. Hal will Do

Intimate theatre, but the seating is so wide that some of the chairs can barely see half of the stage.

Production was pretty good, comical but for $62 I had a giant cement colum obscuring half the stage. Not impressed.

Lovely setting for a play. Toilets are a little daunting. Im ok with mixed gender toilets but at the very least there should be doors on every stall

I really like the cozy theater, I really enjoyed A Very Die Hard Christmas when we went.

Cute little theater and the show was fantastic! It was probably the best play Ive seen in years!

An old bathhouse facade hides an excellent 3/4 thrust theater that is well maintained. They tend to produce straight theater (as opposed to musicals), with a focus on telling stories about underrepresented groups. Production quality is excellent.

Great little theater space. Smallish stage with comfortable wrap-around seating. Adequate facilities in a great location with parking. Older building but kept well. Lobby is very small so suggest buying tickets online and getting there early for best seats and a position out of the rain if there is a line for popular shows.

So fun to see A Very Die Hard Christmas there.

Seattle Public Theater ,What a sweet place . In front of this building is where the Water Lantern Festival is held on Green Lake every year . This is so way cool I love this place , its a awesome place to visit with your family and friends any time of the year . There lots of stuff to see and do every year there . #love

Very small venue which makes it a great space to see a play. In the front row I almost felt like part of the play at times. Plenty of parking later in the evening. Also several spots for food & drink nearby. As an added bonus a walk around Green Lake is a nice way to prepare for viewing a performance.

I saw a great play. Small but nice venue for the type of plays done there.

A Very Die Hard Christmas was an hilarious, no-tech, creative adaptation of Die Hard that makes much fun at the movie and of 1988 in general (coincidentally my high school class). Theater is a small community theater on the shores of Green Lake. Seats were comfy although space a bit cramped. The theater offers self serve coffee for donation as well as soft drinks, wine, beer, and snacks at a small vending counter.

Saw Admissions - a thought-provoking play

Indy Jones is one of the funniest , comedy plays Ive seen in years. The entire company as well as the audience all seemed to be having a blast.

This is fun little theater with talented actors. You dont have to fight the traffic to go down town.

A cozy, well put together place. Perfect for an intimate performance.

Indy Jones, from the same crew that did Very Die Hard Christmas. Clever staging, zany word play, good sight gags, and lots and lots and lots of laughs.

Intimate theatre saw funny Indiana Jones play with great actors

They make you feel at home.

Unable to get a box office representative for assistance. Left messages all week at both numbers provided. Called during limited box office hours no answer. Emailed box office contacts. Cant give them my money. I just wanted some customer service

Fun local theater with hilarious productions!

Repertoire here guaranteed to give you food for thoughts and also touch the heart. Every play we have been was a success

Saw Christmas Town. Great show

Die Hard the Musical was simply fantastic.

Saw a very Die Hard Christmas here. It was excellent and the venue was very clean and organized. Really great time support local art!

Review for A Very Die Hard Christmas:Imaginative, clever, funny, and delightful...take your favorite person so you can curl you toes with pleasure whilst rehashing your favorite scenes on the way home. Plus there is opera, epic fight scenes, and fabulous hair.

We attended The Liar on 02/17 and were so impressed! The actors were outstanding and the story was very entertaining. The volunteers were friendly and helfpful and the venue was great - not a bad seat in the house. No problem parking either. Only recommendation would be to cut the heat a little - it was too warm in the theatre during the performance.With gratitude for a terrific evening!

Indiana Jones the musical is a must see!

Fun non-profit theater.

Coolest theater in town! Free parking. Intimate space. Christmastown Noir is a wonderful, funny, poignant way to enjoy the holidays! Will be running w/ A very Die Hard Christmas, which should be very, very funny.

Die Hard Christmas outstanding - great fun. Any Die Hard fan should love it.

A Very Die Hard Christmas was one of the greatest shows Ive ever seen. 10/10! Awesome theater and an incredible cast :D

Fire Season one of the best new plays Ive seen in 20 years

Green lake is beautiful

Everyone does great work. Saw 2 shows in the past 30 days!

Was there for water lantern festival, was beautiful.

I saw The Best Christmas Pageant here with my family and it was an amazing Christmas experience. Great cast with talent. They were able to put on a great play with minimal props that made it feel very real.

A Very Die Hard Christmas-Perfect cast, so funny!

Where Devin field started his big career.

Very intimate and historic. Great for the holidays

The seating is tight for a plus size dude, but the atmosphere is enjoyable.

Enjoyed the play Christmastown with my wife, nice theater and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic, intimate venue and high quality plays.

Great show!

A great little theater in an old bathhouse.

Go see Christmastown. Its brilliant!

Was just passing through on a run. Pretty area.

Cool place for free outdoor moving watching in the summer.

Saturday nights rapscallion romp was marvelous to behold. This young cast was amazingly mature. Shana Bestok, in her Directors Notes, creates a beautiful, authentic path by which to enter the play and the spirit of the actors. Bravo!

Very funny play and great performances.

Great cast, good play on an intimate theater.

This theater is my life. It is an amazing place to work and play. The plays, both mainstage and youth are fabulous, and the overall environment is very welcoming and friendly.

The Seattle Public Theatres presentation of Caught was fantastic. The team worked together wonderfully and used the space in a very interesting way to keep the boundaries of the scenes blurry.

Small theatre. You dont want to get stuck in the corner.

Actors where great....

Im consistently amazed with the quality of performances at SPT.

Weve been going to productions at the Bathouse for over 30 years, through various theatre companies. The productions are always great, even in this modest, quirky building.

A small and intimate space

A gem of a theatre on the shores of Green Lake. Both the mainstage and youth productions are consistently outstanding.

Great ice cream and bubble tea.

Fun small venue.
