Welcome to the TAC Web Site
Founded in 1910, the Theatre Arts Club, a Michigan non-profit organization,
was established as an all-women's theatre group.
The Club spent its first 15 years bringing performances to audiences wherever a stage could be found.
In 1925, that changed when The Players constructed its beautiful Playhouse
and welcomed the Theatre Arts Club to produce their shows there.
Since then, the Historic Players Playhouse has served as our Club's permanent home, welcoming generations of local performers and patrons.
Theatre Arts Song
Written by Audrey Jennings
The Theatre Arts Club of
Detroit
Presents another show.
Now comes the hush of awesome calm
Before the curtain's rise.
What magic marvels will unfold
Before our very eyes!
As house lights dim
A spell is cast
The Muses now abide
To sadden with tragedy,
Cheer us through a comedy,
Lure us on in fantasy
But now
We catch our breath.
We cannot stir,
The footlights are aglow!
