Did you know that Theatre Puget Sound was featured on the front page of The Seattle Times on January 29th?
"Strong arts ecosystems need artists at all career stages, along with rehearsal spaces where they can work, small spaces where they can experiment, midsize spaces where they can learn, and large theaters where they can make a living, as a bare minimum. The more of those artists and spaces we can support, the better."
Arts and culture writer Gemma Wilson shares with the Puget Sound community, "What Seattle stands to lose if Theatre Puget Sound doesn’t make it." Now, more than ever, is a great time to become a member of TPS. TPS offers Patron Memberships as well as Associate Memberships to those not directly producing works of art, but who wish to support the arts through membership with TPS.
