What We Do
We put on one fantastic show each year—and no two seasons are ever the same!
From laugh-out-loud comedies to edge-of-your-seat dramas, we love bringing all kinds
of stories to life. Everyone jumps in, whether it’s acting under the lights,
directing the action, or working magic behind the scenes.
We may be amateurs, but we make up for it with a lot of enthusiasm and even more fun.
The spotlight doesn’t stop there! Throughout the year, we host lively fundraising events
in support of the
Eva Woodbridge
Victor Scholarship Fund, keeping the good times going for a great cause.
And because we just can’t get enough of each other, we host a bi-monthly book club,
and we get together for lunch or dinner once a month to share stories, laughs, and great company.
Club History
The Theatre Arts Club is a Michigan non-profit organization, established in 1910 as an all-women’s
theatre group. For the first 15 years, performances were given in any available locale.
In 1925, Players built their beautiful Playhouse. The Playhouse has been our home ever since.
We contributed to relief efforts during World Wars I and II. In 1952, we established the
Eva Woodbridge Victor Scholarship Fund
as a tribute to Mrs. Victor, one of our founding members.
Mrs. Victor bequeathed a monetary gift to the Theatre Arts Club in 1952 to be used specifically for scholarship awards.
Every year since then, the Theatre Arts Club has awarded a scholarship to an outstanding Wayne State University drama student.
Several of our scholarship recipients have gone on to careers in Hollywood, on Broadway, and in television.
We are also the trusted stewards of the Florence Steep Fund. Mrs. Steep, who served as the club president in 1967-69,
was a member of TAC for over 50 years. Mrs. Steep bequeathed a monetary gift to the Theatre Arts Club in 1991
in order to help maintain the club's ability to present local stage productions.
While the social expectations for women changed from when the club was originally formed, the Theatre Arts Club
remains as a women’s-only club, continues to be dedicated to its purpose, and we have a lot of fun doing it!
