Background Illustration for Performing Arts

Anchorage often surprises visitors with the variety—and high quality—of its cultural activities. In addition to top-name touring groups and performers, some local productions are always going on around town. These might include provocative theater, children's shows, improvisational troupes, Buddhist lectures, photography exhibits, poetry readings, and Alaska Native dance performances. The Friday entertainment section of the Anchorage Daily News is packed with events and activities.

Bear Tooth Theatrepub

Spenard

Catch foreign films, indie flicks, and nostalgic classics at this second-run theater with a back-corner bar. Place an order at the counter outside and runners will deliver your nachos, pizzas, and garlic-cilantro fries from the attached Southwestern grill directly to your seat. The Bear Tooth also occasionally clears out the movie seats to host nationally touring music acts.
