While sitting in the new theatre seats, with a broad smile on his face, Chris Serface, the lodestone of Tacoma Little Theatre, announced the new seating of the theatre (better viewing plan), and the 103rd year’s slate of plays.
They are:
- Terms of Endearment
- Clue On Stage
- Wizard of Oz
- Silent Sky
- Chorus Line
- The Happiest Songs Play Last
- The Luck of the Irish
The selection of plays for the 2021-2022 looks like a winner!
Chris Serface introduces the latest updates and the 103rd Season
The Happiest Songs Play Last is a brand-new play. TLT has been involved in bringing new works to their audience and we love that.
I’m really happy to see Chorus Line on the list. All hopes of a reprise of the musical were crushed by COVID a year and a half ago. Peg and I saw it twice. It was very nicely done. We’re looking forward to seeing the show again, with some of the same cast as well as some new additions. Here was my review (and additional comments from readers) from 2020 – thesubtimes.com/2020/03/12/a-chorus-line-at-tacoma-little-theatre-play-review-tacoma/
New York Times Review:
Race, class and real estate make for a predictably combustible combination in “Luck of the Irish,” a thoughtful but diffuse new play by Kirsten Greenidge that opened on Monday night at the Claire Tow Theater at Lincoln Center. The plot turns on the disputed ownership of a handsome house in a Boston suburb that has been home to an African-American family, the Taylors, since the late 1950s. A half-century later the descendants of the Taylors make the unhappy discovery that the title may never have been properly transferred from the white couple who bought it on behalf of their grandparents, seeking to sidestep the prevalent racism of the time, which kept such neighborhoods strictly segregated.

My wife Peg and I are really, really, really, looking forward to the reopening of live theatre here in the Pacific Northwest. We love seeing familiar faces as well as new talent emerging, sometimes just a few feet from our seats. Don’t wait, sign up for the new season immediately. Ticket sales help TLT and your payoff will be excellent entertainment for the 103rd year of Tacoma Little Theatre productions. Chris Serface has done an excellent job of holding the company together during the pandemic, so now is our time to simply enjoy the results on stage.
It would most useful to provide an address for the Tacoma Little Theater. I am new to town and can not find the address in your article nor on their website until I happened upon it on a map describing three parking spots at a nearby 7-11.
Don,
You are absolutely correct. The address is 210 N I St, Tacoma, WA 98403 . . . and I had to look it up. The only local theatre that is easy to find and has parking is Tacoma Musical Playhouse on Sixth Avenue. There are only a few spaces for parking next door at the 7-11. TLT is about a hundred yards from Wright Park. With trolley construction still going on via 6th Avenue and Division parking and driving has become more problematic. We like to arrive early (the cookies are excellent) at Tacoma Little Theatre. I usually drop my wife off and then circle the block or two until I find a parking space. As a new person to Tacoma, welcome. Theatre people are usually friendly, so don’t be shy. Join someone at the small table in the waiting room and ask about their favorite performances . . . and enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.
Don
