The Early Seattle Theatre History project documents the history of theatre in Seattle through a rich assortment of photographs, programs, and reviews from the earliest years of the city.
Discover Seattle's early theatre history and the performers and plays that graced this city's stages from pioneer days to 1920. Explore the first makeshift performance hall in the Yesler Mill cookhouse, the rowdy "box-houses" with saloons, the lively vaudeville theatre, and Corday's Theatre where Sarah Bernhardt drew a standing-room-only audience of 1,500 in 1891.
