A Message from the Board President - Dan Gunderson
On behalf of the board of directors, our staff, and our volunteers, we
would like to welcome you to The Historic Everett Theatre. We are happy
to present to you our 2007-2008 season. The new season includes classic
theatre, musicals, comedy, mysteries, and children's shows. Our
mission, "enriching the community through performing arts and theatre
preservation" defines us, as one of the very few true "community
theatres" left in the greater Puget Sound. The Historic Everett Theatre
celebrates it's 106th year with new enthusiasm as the city works to
bring Everett to the forefront of the arts. <MORE> |

New Everett Theatre
In 1901 the Everett Theatre opened as one of 12 theatres in the City of
Everett. Everett was the theatre center of the Northwest at that time.
After a fire destroyed most of the theatre in 1921, the theatre was
reopened as ìThe New Everett Theatreî.
We have gone
through a similar transformation in the last decade. The Historic
Everett Theatre, now over 106 years old, has evolved from a place that
needed remodeling, producing lower budget, non-royalty theatre pieces,
and scattered rentals, to The New Everett Theatre. In keeping with the
history surrounding the theatre, the Board of Directors decided to
complete the revitalization of the historic theatre by taking again the
name of ìThe New Everett Theatreî.
The New Everett
Theatre is a 106 year old historic theatre, fully remodeled, with
seating for 834, which produces and co-produces contemporary and
classic theatre, as well as, community events and rentals. With a full
schedule of productions and rentals we provide a place for over 300
community volunteers to practice their craft and to participate in all
aspects of the theatre experience.
The New Everett
Theatre is a vital piece of the arts revitalization of the downtown
Everett corridor. It is a busy, exciting place for the community to
gather, show their talent and volunteer their time.
In our
2007-2008 season we will be presenting a full schedule of our own
productions and we will co-produce with other arts organizations
including; Driftwood Theatre, Sky Valley Performing Arts, Seattle
Comedy Underground, Everett Women's Film Festival, Everett Irish
Cabaret, and Animaticus Foundation to name a few. |
