Welcome
to Theater Artists Olympia 2010-11 Season |
TAO is a collective
of local artists committed to producing high quality theater.
TAO's focus is on producing materials that are thematically
more provocative, and interpretations of classics more experimental
than generally found in the Olympia area. Our mission is to
present creative theatrical pieces that are under-represented
in the community.
