Content Warnings
Those shared moments that an audience experiences together are what theatre is about. Seattle Shakespeare Company strives to honor our artists’ intent regarding their work. Classical work is filled with life-or-death stakes that take place in a great many ways. While it’s not possible to account for all potential content triggers, we list production-specific content warnings on each production web page.
If you have further questions regarding a production’s content, please email us.
