Founded in 1991, Tappan Players has grown to be a beloved musical theater experience for our Tappan students and Ann Arbor community. In partnership with the Tappan PTSO, the Tappan Player's annual spring musical is both a Fundraiser for the PTSO general fund, and an opportunity for our Tappan students to showcase their talents both onstage and behind the scenes.
