Tacoma Musical Playhouse was founded by Jon Douglas Rake and Jeffrey Stvrtecky in 1994 to fulfill a need in Tacoma for a theater company that specializes in the uniquely American art form of musical theater. Mr. Rake took on artistic leadership of the company, directing the majority of the company’s work over an enduring tenure until his death in December of 2025.
The company is committed to honoring the intentions of its founders with a future commitment to expansive community building centered around the production of joy-filled musical theater experiences. TMP’s Mission is “to inspire and enrich lives of our diverse community through musical theater.” TMP has held a long belief that people’s lives are enriched by high-quality entertainment.
Sometimes that entertainment challenges people to think about life issues; other times it offers opportunities for hilarity; and still other times it offers moments for tears. In all cases, however, the experiences move people’s emotions and take them to a new place in their thinking.
