The Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival returns to Volunteer Park on July 13 and 14, 2024!
The Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival has served as the unofficial launching pad for the Seattle’s summer outdoor theater season since 2001.
SOTF HISTORY
The Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival began in 2001 when GreenStage, Theater Schmeater, and Seattle Shakespeare’s Wooden O joined forces to bring a full weekend of live theatre to Volunteer Park in Seattle. Since then the festival has grown to include three stages and up to eighteen performances and ten local theater companies. All in two days in one park… AND ALL FREE!
