Apologies are in order for this announcement. There was a misprint of our Student Directors announcement. Some how, our "Cast" and "Crew" template was used and the error was never caught...

So let's welcome Taylor Bradley and Jefferson Fransted as our Student Directors! They will join Mr. Taylor for the 2026 Fall production of "The Play That Goes Wrong"!

Western Theatre Arts wants to take a moment to give a special thank you for our Madam President, Andrea Zink. Andrea has been such a passionate and supportive parent in our theatre department for the past four years.

Andrea has provided so much for our theatre department because she wants our youth to experience theatre and find joy in it like she has is in her life. From organizing parent helpers, fundraisers, and ensuring our production weekend runs smoothly!

Thank you Andrea for supporting the theatre department. We will miss you. This isn't goodbye though, this is just an intermission until we see you again in the next act! :)
