We want every patron to have a comfortable, dignified experience at TLT. If you have a question or accommodation request, please call the box office at (253) 272-2281 at least 48 hours before your performance and we'll do our best to help.
Designated wheelchair-accessible seats are available in the back row of the auditorium. Companion seating is provided adjacent. Please request these seats when booking so we can hold them for you.
Assistive listening devices are available from the box office at no charge — just ask when you arrive. Please bring photo ID to check one out.
Two ADA-accessible restrooms are located in the lobby. There are no stairs.
Service animals are welcome at all TLT performances. Please let the box office know in advance if possible.
We ask all patrons to refrain from wearing strong fragrances out of consideration for those with chemical sensitivities.
Show-specific content advisories (language, themes, stage effects such as fog or strobe) are posted on each show's page. Call the box office if you'd like more detail before booking.
Tacoma Little Theatre has been making theatre in Tacoma for more than a century — we're one of the oldest continuously operating community theatres in the country. Our home at 210 N "I" Street has been our stage since the 1940s.
The auditorium seats roughly 200, with no seat more than a few rows from the action. There isn't a bad seat in the house — but if it's your first visit, the center section about ten rows back is a favorite.
For more about our history, board, and staff, visit the Board & Staff page.
Doors open about 30 minutes before curtain. Our concessions bar serves wine, beer, soft drinks, water, coffee, and a rotating selection of snacks and treats. All proceeds from concessions support TLT's productions and education programs.
Arrive early to browse the lobby, peek at the cast bios, grab a drink, and settle in before the show.
Most performances include one 15-minute intermission. Drinks and snacks are available again — we appreciate cash and cards equally.
Make a night of it. The Stadium District is walkable, with restaurants and bars five minutes from the theatre door.
