About Meany Center for the Performing Arts
Meany Center for the Performing Arts is Seattle’s premier campus venue for diverse performances, hosted on the University of Washington campus. The organization brings artists from around the world to two intimate spaces: the Katharyn Alvord Gerlich Theater (1,206 seats) and the Meany Studio Theatre (238 seats). Located at 4040 George Washington Lane NE, Seattle, WA 98105, Meany Center blends world-class artistry with a welcoming, unpretentious vibe — just like having a friend in the business who can secure great seats for you.
Whether you’re chasing dramatic concerts, dance, or innovative programs, Meany Center’s programming has included artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, MOMIX, Pablo Sáinz Villegas, Kodō, and Diane Reeves. Each show is a distinct experience, and our team is here to help you find the best seats and plan a seamless visit.
Getting to Meany Center is convenient whether you drive, ride the Link Light Rail, or walk from nearby neighborhoods. Limited underground parking is available in the Central Plaza Garage beneath Meany Hall, with PayByPhone accepted and accessible parking spaces on site. Two Link Light Rail stations — U District and UW Station — are within about a 10-minute walk, offering easy campus access.
