On the Boards, which was founded by artists in 1978 and won a Stranger Genius Award in 2006, has been Seattle's premiere theater to see what dance, theater, and performance artists from around the country and around the world are playing with right now. A few of the many, many artists who've appeared on OtB's stages: Laurie Anderson, Bill T. Jones, The Wooster Group, Spalding Gray, Dumb Type, Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker, Sankai Juku, Gisèle Vienne, Bruno Beltrão, chelfitsch, Romeo Castellucci, Jan Fabre, John Jasperse, Constanza Macras and Dorky Park, Back to Back Theatre, Faustin Linyekula, Mark Morris, Pat Graney, Dayna Hanson, Amy O’Neal, Reggie Watts, Zoe Scofield & Juniper Shuey, and Crystal Pite. OtB has cultivated a fiercely loyal following over the years—audience members might love or loathe any given show, but always seem eager to come back for the next one.
