Everett Theatre

The Historic Everett Theatre is a fully restored landmark on Colby Avenue in downtown Everett, Washington, that opened in 1901 as the Everett Opera House. Now more than a century old, it is the sole survivor of the eight theaters that once competed for audiences in the city, and its stage has hosted some of the biggest names in early twentieth-century entertainment, from Helen Keller and John Philip Sousa to John Barrymore and Al Jolson. Seating 800, the theatre produces and presents a full calendar of concerts, comedy shows, live music from nationally and internationally known artists, silent film screenings accompanied by pipe organ, and community events. Beyond its own programming, the venue is available for rentals; bookings include a house manager and ushers along with access to the greenroom and dressing rooms, digital house sound, stage lighting, and video projection. A working home for more than 300 community volunteers, the Historic Everett Theatre remains a central gathering place for performances and private events in downtown Everett.
