Congratulations to recent Hambone winners. Tracy Flippo won for Jake's Women; John Scott Holman for Murder in the Magnolias and Shelby Miller for The Music Man. The Hambone award is given on most WCT productions to the cast member not only for their performance but their backstage work. It is voted on by the technical crews and non-participating board members.

21st performance is a Sunday Matinee. Trish McIntire is directing.
If you are interested in auditioning but can not make the scheduled times, please contact the director at wct@winfieldcommtheatre.com and an alternative time can be worked out.
Besides actors, we are looking for backstage help. This includes a stage manager/assistant director. If you are interested in directing, this is a great way to learn the ropes. If you are interested in helping backstage please come to an audition or contact Trish at the above e-mail address.
The Odd Couple is part of WCT's 40th Anniversary celebration.
For each show that we have done, we want to have a page on our web site with production information and pics if available. Currently about 2/3 of the shows have a page. You start with the Show List page (under History) and pick any show with an active link. The page you bring up has all the info we currently have on the show; pics and/or program info. From any individual show page you can use the links at the top or bottom to visit the next show page.
Thanks to the hard work of JJ Banks, Warren Andreas, Julia Lambert, Ned Graham and their committee, I had 3 CDs of pictures and some programs to work with. Those files are now all on the web site. The next step is getting the program info from a stack of programs we had at the theatre. The problem is that most of these programs are for shows that I had pictures for but no program. It will allow me to create 9 new pages. That still leaves over 40 shows with no information. If you have any information from those shows, please consider sharing it. I will scan or copy it and get it back to you. To see what we need you can look at the Show List (linked above) or check out this spreadsheet. If a box is empty, then we don't currently have that information. If you have something to share, please let me know. You can e-mail me at wct@winfieldcommtheatre.com
