Union Arts Center

Located in Downtown Seattle near the Convention Center, the Union Arts Center is a historic landmark and the collaborative home of ACT Contemporary Theatre and the Seattle Shakespeare Company. Housed in an eight-story playhouse, the venue features several intimate stages, including the unique Allen Theatre—a standout theatre-in-the-round—and the versatile Bullitt Cabaret. This multi-level hub offers a professional yet warm atmosphere, preserving a rich architectural legacy in the heart of the city's central arts district. The venue’s programming frequently highlights "comedy-packed" plays and sharp-witted adaptations, ranging from Shakespearean classics to contemporary hits like *Fat Ham*. It is also a premier destination for alternative comedy and drag, famously hosting the long-running, surreal *Dina Martina Christmas Show*. With a history of showcasing celebrated performers such as Dina Martina and BenDeLaCreme, the center is an essential stop for fans seeking a blend of sophisticated storytelling and bold, laugh-out-loud performance.
