History
The Pantages Theater is the crown jewel in the heart of downtown Tacoma's Theater District. The corner of 9th and Broadway has been a place to gather for community events and the arts since 1918, and the theater was restored after the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts assumed stewardship of the building in 1983.
