"The best bang for your entertainment buck around the Beltway!"
-- The Washington Post

Tantallon Community Players (TCP), a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1982 to increase community awareness of the theater in Southern Maryland, through performance opportunities and workshops. To this end, it has helped foster hundreds of individuals with a sense of community and a creative experience that for some has become a lifelong interest in theater.

TCP is a multi-ethnic, ensemble-based theater company. By making theater with and for people of many ages, cultures, and levels of theatrical experience, TCP builds bridges between and among the diverse communities in our home of Fort Washington, Maryland, and around (and beyond) the Capital Beltway.
