Review & FAQ:

The Washington Center for the Performing Arts is the biggest performing arts facility in South Puget Sound's. Located in the heart of Olympia, the center is focused on providing a venue for unique regional performing arts and a variety of cultural and entertainment activities.

While the center presents its own season of international and national artists, its main goal is to support local performing art groups. The center opened its doors in 1985 as a successor of the old 1924 Liberty Theater, retaining much of the historic building’s architecture. The center’s lobby serves as a gallery space for the local artists.
