Скачать или смотреть January 1, 2026 Vigil for Jon Douglas Rake at TMP

On the evening of January 1, 2026, actors, directors and creative artists from all over gathered together at Tacoma Musical Playhouse to sing, cry, tell stories and remember the life and legacy of Managing Artistic Director Jon Douglas Rake.

Jon wasn't just an Artistic Director or Director/Choreographer. He was "Papa Jon" to so many. A friend and confidant. Someone who cared deeply for the community and people that came through the theater doors. He gave so much of his love, time, and support to everyone around him and took care of his theater family far and wide in whatever way he could. He was an inspiration to so many and the theater world has been forever changed for good because we knew him.

Thank you Jon for the joy, the love, the encouragement and challenges that helped shape so many of us today.

Thank you for the music and the safe haven you created for all of us.
