In its 90th year of operation, the historic Neptune Theatre (circa 1921) was transformed from a single screen cinema, to Seattle’s newest live performance multi-use arts venue.

WHAT CHANGED?

The Neptune Theatre closed as a single-screen movie house in January 2011 and is now operated by Seattle Theatre Group® (STG), the non-profit operators of the historic Paramount and Moore Theatres.

STG reconfigured the Neptune Theatre to increase options for community engagement in the arts.

On November 14, 2011 the City of Seattle's Landmark Preservation Board voted to designate the Neptune Theatre building as a city landmark. We now proudly operate three City of Seattle Historic Landmarks!
