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.
