Tacoma Musical Playhouse (TMP) was founded by Jon Douglas Rake and Jeffrey Stvrtecky in January, 1994 to fulfill a need in Tacoma for a theater company that specializes in the uniquely American art form of musical theater. Rake’s artistic leadership of the company, supported by a need in the community and an ailability of excellent local talent, are the driving forces of its success.
Tacoma Musical Playhouse recognizes that we operate on the traditional homelands of the Puyallup people.
