Two years ago, Theater Artists Olympia inherited stewardship of the Midnight Sun performance space, an established institution in downtown Olympia and one of the only dedicated all-ages venues in the area.

It takes nearly $1500 per month to maintain and upkeep The Midnight Sun, not including renovations or our production costs. In order to keep our art accessible to as many people in the community as possible, TAO has kept our ticket prices low and relies exclusively on the hard work and dedication of some extremely talented volunteers so that 100% of the money we receive can be funneled back into the arts. We need the support of our community to keep ourselves afloat – and to do so, we are hosting a benefit showcase of some of our favorite local performance artists including former Midnight Sun steward, local storyteller, and ‘professional talker’ Elizabeth Lord, stand-up comedian and actor Morgan Picton, boilesque from Bananas Foster and renditions of music from the TAO Collective’s own original musical “The Head! That Wouldn’t Die!!” performed LIVE by our soundtrack band, The Body, and the show’s original cast, plus other exciting events as the night goes on.

Please come out to support not only a very talented group of artists but a space that has been a center for the arts for more than two decades.
