Perseverance Theatre

Perseverance Theatre Review

Alaska's only professional theater company, the nationally renowned Perseverance Theatre, performs a wide range of classics and new productions, regularly promoting Alaska artists and staging world premieres. The company recently began regularly staging a limited number of plays in Anchorage every season; other plays have toured more extensively, such as its all-Tlingit version of Shakespeare's Macbeth, which traveled to the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Perseverance's season runs from September through May, giving travelers another good reason to visit Alaska during the shoulder season. Juneau is also home to Theatre in the Rough, a fantastic all-volunteer theater troupe that's been staging Shakespearian works and other classics twice a year since 1991, as well as two opera companies, Juneau Lyric Opera and Opera to Go.
