TCH presents Scrabble Rousers: Season Deux, an amazing lineup of nontraditional and themed Scrabble tournaments for players of all levels to gather and celebrate words. Through community partnerships with King’s Books, University of Puget Sound (UPS) Office of Community Engagement, the Washington State History Museum, and Click! Cable TV, TCH is offering Scrabble Rousers monthly from February to September throughout Tacoma.  

Each tournament will have an individual theme like Alfred Hitchcock Day, Murder Mystery, and the wildly popular International Talk like a Pirate Day. The next couple of months include two exciting tournaments.  The first, Alfred Hitchcock-themed tournament, complete with crows and creepy music, will be held on March 12^th at the UPS Rotunda. The second is a Murder Mystery themed tournament to be held on April 22^nd at King’s Books.  Both events run 6:30pm-9:30pm. Prizes and bragging rights will be available for the night’s winners.

The entrance fee is only $10 and all Scrabble Rouser proceeds benefit Tacoma Community House’s Student Scholarship Fund, a scholarship awarded by a student-run committee that helps students transition from TCH to other educational institutions and programs.
