Join Tacoma Youth Theatre

in the creation of our Light Trail exhibit

The Tacoma Light Trail uses light art to bring light to dark times, to lift up diverse voices and bring the community together through things we all share – truth, hope, justice, peace –symbolized by light.

The Tacoma Light Trail is a free walkable/driveable Trail of light art in downtown Tacoma. A Sound Trail pairs music and poetry with each light location via QR code. Live performances and a Lighted Bike Ride bring the Trail to life.

Here are the details:

DROP-IN Tuesday, December 16th or Wednesday, December 17th from 4:00pm until 6:30pm. (actual painting time should be under 30 minutes, so feel free to drop-in anytime during available hours.)
Young artists can be dropped-off, or their grown-up people can join in the fun.
We are creating elements for an illuminated "chandelier" that will hang in the TYT lobby. (see photo)
VISIT the Light Trail Dec. 31 - Jan. 11.
We will be painting, so wear the appropriate clothing.

Operation Warm Soles

Tacoma Youth Theatre and our neighbors Mad Hat Tea are proud to be partnering to support Kwabi Amoah Forson's Operation Warm Soles, and we're hoping our communities can help! From now till January 19th, Kwabi (The Peace Bus) will be collecting and distributing new warm socks, blankets, sleeping bags, and shoes to those experiencing homelessness in the cities of Tacoma and Seattle, where nearly 2,000 people are homeless in Tacoma and 14,000 are homeless in Seattle. By working together we can help to ensure that our neighbors living on the street stay warm this winter.

Thank you Tacoma City Council!

Tacoma Creates provides Tacoma Youth Theatre with more than funding for programming.
