The Retter & Company Theatre at Toyota Center: A Premier Venue in Kennewick, WA

Located on the vibrant Three Rivers Campus in Kennewick, Washington, the Retter & Company Theatre at the Toyota Center offers a seating capacity of 2081. The Retter & Company Theatre, a unique “soft theatre” within the Toyota Center arena, was created to maximize venue use and boost revenue and sponsorship opportunities. VenuWorks led the design and development of this versatile theater space, allowing the Toyota Center to host a Broadway series and smaller events that don’t require the entire arena. Since its launch, this innovative theater space has enhanced the venue’s offerings, and attracted new audiences and sponsors, making it a valuable addition to the Toyota Center.

There are eight hotels within a one-mile radius of the Retter & Company Theatre, including the newly connected SpringHill Suites by Marriott Kennewick/Tri-Cities Hotel near the Three Rivers Convention Center. The Toyota Center takes great pride in being a community-focused venue. From local music festivals to Broadway musicals and touring productions, the Retter & Company Theatre provides a platform for the community to come together and celebrate shared interests.
