Bands love play-
ing this 1800-seat borderline-downtown venue for its classy style and great acoustics.
Attached to a stately old hotel, it's Seattle's most venerable operating theater (dating
from 1907) and exudes a battered grace and sophistication whether the act is a singer-
songwriter, a jazz phenomenon or a rock band.

Tula's has live
jazz seven nights a week, from big bands and Latin jazz to up-and-coming names on
tour. It's a non-indie-rock oasis in the booze alley that is Belltown.

Outstanding Regional Theater. The largest nonprofit resident theater outfit in the Pacif-
ic Northwest, it's known for elaborate productions of big-name dramas and second-run
Broadway hits.

In a move that shocked many, Seattle's Tony Award-winning Intiman
Theater abruptly closed in April 2011, a victim of the financial crisis, cancelling its
whole planned summer season in the process. But city icons aren't allowed to die.
Emergency resuscitation was administered and the Intiman raised the $1 million neces-
sary for a heroic reopening in 2012.
With a new artistic director (Andrew Russell) in place, the Intiman is back doing
what it does best: magnificent stagings of Shakespeare and Ibsen. Time for another
Tony?
