About Us

The 5th Avenue Theatre

The 5th Avenue Theatre is one of America's leading musical theater companies. We enrich the community we love with the art form we love, giving the Pacific Northwest a front-row seat to original powerhouse productions that go on to light up marquees and audiences all the way to Broadway. From the page to the stage, we bring passion and epic scale to every musical we create. With big talent. Bigger-than-life productions. And did we mention dazzle? As a nonprofit theater company and our region's largest performing arts employer, we spread the joy of great musicals to people of all ages across our region and state.

Each year, we reach 76,000 young people through our nationally acclaimed education programs. We also offer programs designed to develop new musicals and ensure that the next generation of great musicals will be there to tell the stories that captivate tomorrow's audiences. On the national stage, we are a leading advocate for the power of this American art form to lift the human spirit.

Our Mission

To nurture, advance, and celebrate all aspects of the great original art form: the musical.
