Energizing community through live performance

Tacoma Arts Live is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and is recognized for leadership in presenting world-class performing artists, providing one of the largest arts education programs in the nation, and preserving and activating Tacoma’s historic theaters. The organization manages the largest complex of theaters between Seattle and Portland: Pantages Theater (seating 1272, built in 1918, and renovated in 2018); the Rialto Theater (seating 739, also built in 1918, and restored 1991); and Theater on the Square (seating 302, built in 1993). Its mission is to "energize community through live performance." Tacoma Arts Live believes in the power of bringing people together – physically in a theater, intellectually through ideas, and emotionally through sharing great stories. Attending live entertainment reminds us to be open to feel, to learn, and to appreciate humanity.

With over 40 presenting shows in the 2019-2020 season, an arts education program that serves over 55,000 students, teachers, and families throughout the South Sound, and a newly launched professional regional theater program providing northwest artists with paid opportunities, Tacoma Arts Live is committed to using the performing arts as a platform to build a more resilient, dynamic and connected community.
