THANK YOU! In 2018, TLT launched its "GRAB A SEAT AND ENJOY" campaign to raise funds to replace the seats in the auditorium and make some much needed upgrades! We have made tremendous progress to the donors listed below and appreciate everyone for their generosity. Currently we are working with our architects to develop a timeline that will allow us to complete the project with a minimal disruption to our pa- trons, students, and production schedule. Once we have more details we will share them with you, and hopefully a sneak peek at what it will look like!

While we have been known to cast broadly, we’ve taken it a step further, and our casting notices specify that auditions are open to all racial and ethnic backgrounds unless otherwise specified. We encourage auditions from people of all backgrounds. • Provide clearer opportunities for volunteerism. We’ve always relied on our wonderful volunteers for ushering, and ticket taking, and event planning along with other work. We are now strengthening our Board committees and looking for people who are inter- ested in volunteering with us on event planning, fundraising, facilities, and governance. If you have any interest in serving with any of those committees, please let is know by sending us an email to [email protected]. • Prepare for our upcoming remodel of the auditorium. Tacoma Little Theatre is fortunate to have strong leadership in Chris Serface, and we look forward to continued success with his leadership and our connection to you and the rest of our community.
