That is why the Seattle Shakespeare Company is committed to first-rate, professional productions of Shakespeare and the classics and the Wooden O Summer Outdoor Theatre, which opens doors to classical plays for audiences of all ages, through intimate, daring productions.
In 2020, Wooden O offers two plays through August 1. Plays are offered Thursday-Sunday in parks throughout the region, including several parks in Seattle, as well as Des Moines, Edmonds, Issaquah, Lynnwood, Mercer Island, Redmond, Sammamish, SeaTac, and Shoreline.
