Fun Facts

The Market Theater is famously known for the Gum Wall, a brick wall covered in used chewing gum, which has become a quirky landmark in Seattle's Pike Place Market.

Established in 1991, the Market Theater has been a cornerstone for improv comedy, hosting the popular Unexpected Productions.

The theater is situated in the Pike Place Market Historic District, which is one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers' markets in the United States.

The Gum Wall outside the theater was featured in the 2009 film 'Love Happens,' starring Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart.

In addition to improv, the theater hosts a variety of events, including workshops and classes for aspiring performers.
