Follow the Production-The Foreigner

We're trying something new for The Foreigner. We will be documenting the rehearsal process and all the pre-opening activities on our Facebook page. A photo album has been created with the first rehearsal pics and what the theatre looks like right now. Over the next 6 weeks, we will post pictures showing the set being built and the cast working onstage and off. We will also be including the marketing materials and other promotional activities.

You can find WCT on Facebook here.

Facebook Involvement

WCT has a Facebook page and we would love to have more people get involved on the page (and in the theatre, of course). Under the Boxes tab, there are opportunities for dicussion of WCT shows and the theatre in general. We have started one for suggestion of show you would like to see us do. But feel free to start another discussion. Or post fan pictures. They can be from rehearsals, auditions or anthing theatre related.

If you aren't a fan, please join us.

More New Show Pages

We have added show pages to the WCT website for 10 for shows and added program info to 3 more. The additions are focused in the early years and in the 1985 to 1990 time frame. We will be adding new found pictures to some of current pages soon. The source material for these pages came from materials donated to the theatre by Jane Lamb's family. Thank you.

A new "lost shows" page has been posted on the website. No check mark means we don't have that information.

Lost Shows

The search is on for lost show information. WCT has been working to get our history on our web site and we have created pages for most of our shows. Of the 153 shows we have presented to date, only 23 have no page. That is because we have not be able to find a program or pictures for that show. There are other 19 shows for which we just have some pictures. We have posted a list of the missing shows here. If you have a program from one of these shows, please share a copy. You can mail to PO Box 347, Winfield, KS 67156, fax the copy to 620-442-6267 or email the info to [email protected]. If you have pictures, please consider sharing those also. Any original info will be returned to you. 

We are always looking for stories about the shows and the theatre. We have a memories form (bottom of the Memory Pages) you can fill out and we will add it to the Memories Pages.
