The Company

Teatro ZinZanni was originally launched in Seattle by Norm Langill and One Reel in 1998. Originally intended for a short run during the holiday season, the initial production enjoyed 14-sold out months leading to a permanent show in Seattle and expansion into San Francisco. After 15 successful years, One Reel launched Teatro ZinZanni as an independent non-profit arts organization in April 2011.

Since it's opening, Teatro ZinZanni has been delighting audiences with its swirling stream of performance, music and comedy presented in the elegance and intimate comfort of an antique Belgian spiegeltent or mirror tent. Best known for regular evening three-hour performances that blend cirque, comedy and cabaret served up with a multi-course gourmet meal, Teatro ZinZanni performances now include Matinees, late night experiences, children's shows, and Camp ZinZanni, a summer education program for kids ages 5 to 17. Teatro Zinzanni is an independent non-profit arts organization headquartered in Seattle.

Our Mission

Teatro ZinZanni is dedicated to the creation, presentation and preservation of one-of-a- kind live performances to create transformative experiences that break barriers between artists and audiences.
