5th Avenue Theatre Association

The 5th Avenue Theatre's mission is "to nurture, advance, and celebrate all aspects of the great original art form: the musical." In a typical year, we fulfill our mission and make a difference through the power of musicals in three ways: (1) we produce five - six musicals from the ground up for 175,000 pacific northwest audience members; (2) we invest in and develop new musicals that push artistic boundaries and tell new stories; and (3) we inspire the next generation of theater artists and audiences with high-quality arts education and engagement programming for 30,000 youth and adults. As one of the region's largest performing arts employers, we employ roughly 700 people with 90% of them calling Washington state home.
