Eastside Lyric Theatre began in Bellevue Washington in 2006.  We specialize in Gilbert and Sullivan Operas in a chamber setting appropriate to our intimate stage at the Ivanhoe Theatre at 16661 Northup Way.  We have staged six complete shows with small casts of extremely talented performers. This is G&S for you -- close-up and personal. You won't miss a word, no matter how rapid or unintelligible the patter.

Artistic Director Penelope Vrachopoulos has been producing musical theater in Seattle and Bellevue for over 30 years and has directed all 14 operas in the G&S canon. Read about Penelope in the Bellevue Scene!

Director Kent Johnson joins Eastside Lyric from Southern California and has previously directed the Mikado many times and acted in it as well.
So come and join us for the comedy, the drama and the songs!
