About TIP

Over 113 Years of Theatre in Tokyo

Founded in 1896, Tokyo International Players (TIP) is a theatrical organization comprised primarily of the Tokyo foreign community, which provides quality English-language entertainment for international audiences.

Although TIP is essentially a non-profit group, the work it produces is by no means amateur. Over its long history, many active members have appeared in professional theatre in Japan and abroad.

TIP is 100% volunteer-run. We are always looking for new on-stage talent, directors, designers, and backstage crew, as well as people to support our various front-of-house, fundraising, and promotional activities. Enthusiasm, energy, and a fun-loving nature are more important than experience.
