Many who have recently enjoyed our productions for the first time—like the more than 400 new friends from the sadly departed San Jose Rep—subscribed to our current season, and have found a new family and home at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. And it is especially fitting that our Board Emeritus is one of the Producers of The Country House. This group of former board members, who have watched TheatreWorks grow from local roots into a nationally recognized regional theatre, comes home to TheatreWorks year after year, supporting the company through their patronage, donations, and ongoing counsel. As I settle into my new role of Board Chair, I’ve been thinking about how fortunate we are to share such a company.

  • South Coast Repertory Is a Professional Resident Theatre Founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson
    IN BRIEF FOUNDING South Coast Repertory is a professional resident theatre founded in 1964 by David Emmes and Martin Benson. VISION Creating the finest theatre in America. LEADERSHIP SCR is led by Artistic Director David Ivers and Managing Director Paula Tomei. Its 33-member Board of Trustees is made up of community leaders from business, civic and arts backgrounds. In addition, hundreds of volunteers assist the theatre in reaching its goals, and about 2,000 individuals and businesses contribute each year to SCR’s annual and endowment funds. MISSION South Coast Repertory was founded in the belief that theatre is an art form with a unique power to illuminate the human experience. We commit ourselves to exploring urgent human and social issues of our time, and to merging literature, design, and performance in ways that test the bounds of theatre’s artistic possibilities. We undertake to advance the art of theatre in the service of our community, and aim to extend that service through educational, intercultural, and community engagement programs that harmonize with our artistic mission. FACILITY/ The David Emmes/Martin Benson Theatre Center is a three-theatre complex. Prior to the pandemic, there were six SEASON annual productions on the 507-seat Segerstrom Stage, four on the 336-seat Julianne Argyros Stage, with numerous workshops and theatre conservatory performances held in the 94-seat Nicholas Studio.

  • Playbill 2017
    PLAYBILL ALPHA PSI OMEGA DELTA PSI OMEGA Alpha Psi Omega Delta Psi Omega Chapters in Action Scholarship Winners 2017 History of Alpha and Delta Psi Omegas In the early twentieth century, interest in the dramatic arts grew tremendously on college and university cam- puses. By 1920, most colleges had a dramatic organization staging plays annually for the campus and the com- munity at large. Also around this time, little theatre productions and dramatic workshops began taking place. This furthered the interest in theatre on campuses everywhere, especially in the western part of the country. At this time, several honororary groups were formed to recognize and reward exemplary student participation in those productions. In 1921, at Fairmont State College in Fairmont, West Virginia, college theater took root. A faculty director was hired in 1923, and the Masquers were formed. The Masquers were charged with presenting a season of 4 to 5 major productions per year for students and the general public. In 1924, the Masquers began searching for a na- tional honorary organization to join. As there was no truly national organization, Elinor B. Watson, Robert Sloan, and Fairmont faculty director Paul F. Opp researched forming such a national organization. As a result of their research and work, a proposed national constitution was drawn up, and, on August 12, 1925, the first cast of Alpha Psi Omega members, drawn from the Masquers, was initiated. It was then decided that each chapter was to be called a "cast," and Fairmont College became the Alpha Cast. Soon after, Marshall Col- lege in Huntington, West Virginia, expressed interest in chartering a cast of Alpha Psi Omega; they founded the Beta Cast.

  • Musical Theatre in the Mountains: an Examination of West Virginia Public Theatre’S History, Mission, Practices, and Community Impact
    MUSICAL THEATRE IN THE MOUNTAINS: AN EXAMINATION OF WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC THEATRE’S HISTORY, MISSION, PRACTICES, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT. David S. Sollish A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Michael B. Ellison, Advisor Elaine J. Colprit Graduate Faculty Representative Jonathan L. Chambers Ronald E. Shields ii ABSTRACT Michael B. Ellison, Advisor The purpose of this study was to examine the ways in which a professional theatre can impact its community and to provide useful suggestions for young producers hoping to start their own theatre. By using the West Virginia Public Theatre as a case study and by examining its three-part mission (to entertain, to educate, and to improve the quality of life), this study highlights both effective and ineffectual practices conducted by the theatre, its administration, and its staff to ascertain the efficacy of that mission. Furthermore, the numerous voices stemming from my personal interviews with a cross-section of the community have served as a principal source of data from which to analyze the theatre’s impact on the blue-collar, sports- focused society of North Central West Virginia. West Virginia Public Theatre was established in 1985 and since has grown to be a reputable summer stock company. Modeled on the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, West Virginia Public Theatre has developed from a small, unknown theatre performing in a parking lot tent to a well-respected summer stock theatre with aspirations of further developing into a regional company.
