The Building
On the Boards moved into its current space, the Behnke Center for Contemporary Performance, in 1998 in Seattle’s lower Queen Anne neighborhood in the historic Queen Anne Hall.
On the Boards invests in leading contemporary performing artists near and far, and connects them to a diverse range of communities interested in forward-thinking art and ideas.
We believe if we are successful in our work that we can grow our field, enrich peoples’ lives, and contribute to civic and global dialogues.
On the Boards values:
- artistic risks while being fiscally responsible;
- leadership in our field and the multiple communities we serve to strategically advance the role contemporary artists play in society;
- racial and social equity, and accountability;
- provocative art as a vehicle to connect people of diverse backgrounds and perspectives;
- our regional creative community as we engage with international artists and peers;
- professional and transparent management.
On the Boards presents more than 40 shows over 75 performance nights each year in two theaters: our 300-seat Merrill Wright Theater and our intimate 84-seat Studio Theater.
We have space appropriate for screenings, celebrations, meetings, rehearsals, and performances.
