Thirty five years ago, Summer Stock founders — program director Bill Gregory and WWU faculty member Dennis Catrell — set out to build a bridge between the academic and professional theatre for young artists, technicians, administrators and drama teachers. Their vision was to immerse each company member in a summer of intense theatre production for the local community. Summer Stock alumni have gone on to train at some of the most advanced theatre programs in the country, work at major American theatres, play leadership roles in alternative theatre, and teach in settings around the world.
