Are you spending countless hours on the couch, binge-watching on your favorite streaming platform? It’s time to get unplugged. And what better place than live theater?
There’s nothing like that feeling you get when the lights darken, the music swells, and you’re whisked away to the lush forests of Sherwood, the vibrant culture of a Caribbean island, or the warm glow of a timeless love story. When you leave the theater, you’ll probably be humming your favorite song!
You can get that feeling right in the heart of downtown Everett with Village Theatre. For over 43 years, Village Theatre has been a leading producer of musical theater in the Pacific Northwest and has brought Broadway-caliber shows to Snohomish County since 1998 in the Everett Performing Arts Center.
