The college is home to Carlson Theatre, a 300-seat theater, and Stop Gap Studio, a 60-to 80-seat theater, both located in the E Building on the Bellevue College campus. General admission, ranging from free tickets to $15-$20, is affordable and accessible to all. Paid parking and maps of the college are also available.

November 

Show title: The Crucible 

Date: Nov. 19-22 

Time: 7:30 PM every night, and 2 PM on Saturday. 

Location: Carlson Theatre, Bellevue College campus 

Description: Widely considered a masterpiece, this timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. Among the most produced plays since its 1953 debut, “The Crucible” is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of contemporary society.

December 

Show title: Wu Fei (International Guitar Series) 

Date: Dec. 10 

Time: 7:30 PM 

Location: Carlson Theatre, Bellevue College campus 

Description: Wu Fei is a master of the guzheng, a Chinese zither often compared to the slide guitar for its expressive tonal range.
