Taproot Theatre Company was founded in 1976 by six college graduates from Seattle Pacific University. From its humble beginnings as a touring group, the company has now become one of Seattle’s largest mid-size theatre companies. Today, Taproot Theatre serves over 100,000 people annually throughout the Pacific Northwest with a full Mainstage season, touring programs, and Acting Studio.
