Theatre Puget Sound

Mission

Since 1997, Theatre Puget Sound (TPS) has been the backbone of the Puget Sound’s vibrant performing arts scene. We’re not a theatre company—we're the organization that helps all of them do what they do. TPS is an essential hub, advocating fiercely for performing artists and providing the resources, tools, and opportunities they need to thrive. From professional development to subsidized rehearsal and performance spaces, we are the infrastructure that keeps this community alive and well.

Our mission is to foster a robust, inclusive, and equitable performing arts community. As we continue the vital work of becoming an anti-racist organization, TPS is committed to processes, programs, and policies that serve the entire community—especially those most impacted by systemic inequities in our field. We invite and encourage meaningful dialogue, education, and action around race, social justice, and anti-racist practices.

Invest in the artistic health of our region!

After the success of our SAVETPS Campaign, TPS is alive and thriving. TPS is more than a support system—we're part of the community. For 26 years, we’ve brought together thousands of artists, organizations, and producers across the region. We connect people, create opportunities, and keep the arts community connected.

Right now, the arts are facing serious challenges. That’s why having a strong, independent organization like TPS is more important than ever. We help hold things together—but we need your help to keep doing it.

TPS unifies thousands of performing artists across the Puget Sound to leverage an alliance stronger than any individual or organization acting alone. An arts service and advocacy organization, we help connect artists with audiences, with each other, and with opportunity. TPS strives for the broadest diversity of artists and performing arts opportunities, re-imagining ways to give arts back to audience and investing in the creativity and vitality of local communities.
