Tacoma Musical Playhouse

Tacoma Musical Playhouse (TMP) specializes in musical theater, offering a season of Broadway-style productions with orchestral backing. The venue, located at 7116 6th Avenue in Tacoma, Washington, features an intimate 380-seat auditorium. This theater underwent a $1.2 million renovation in 2013, which included technical upgrades, a lowered stage, and a new sound system. TMP is recognized as a National and International Award-Winning theater, founded in January 1994 by Jon Douglas Rake and Jeffrey Stvrtecky.

Beyond its mainstage shows, TMP hosts Family Theater productions, which are professionally staged musicals designed for younger audiences. These shows often adapt beloved children's stories. The theater provides a comfortable experience for patrons, with convenient concessions offering snacks, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages before shows and during intermission. Food and uncapped drinks are allowed inside the auditorium. Free parking is available, including a Park-n-Ride lot across the street.

TMP also has a significant education department, CampTMP, which offers a wide range of programs for youth ages 5 to 18. These include classes, camps, workshops, and fully-staged productions through initiatives like After School Academy, Summer Camp, and Honor Camp. For those interested in a deeper look, "Behind the Curtain!" preview presentations offer insights into the creative process of their Mainstage shows. TMP is dedicated to enriching its diverse community through high-quality musical theater and educational opportunities.
