A Message from the Executive Artistic Director

What you are about to experience is more than a performance — it is the culmination of passion, resilience, and artistic collaboration. While most summer productions spend nearly a year in planning and rehearsal, this cast and crew had just 12 days to learn their roles and only 4 days to integrate every technical element before stepping onto this stage. This kind of condensed process demands exceptional talent, unwavering commitment, and an incredible spirit of teamwork — all of which have been poured into this production for you, our community.

We are brimming with talent and potential, but to fully blossom, we need a permanent, fully revitalized home: the Fort Walla Walla Amphitheater. With your investment, this historic venue can once again become a centerpiece of our community — a place where Broadway-quality productions are created and shared right here in Walla Walla, drawing audiences from near and far.

Imagine a vibrant annual theater and music festival that attracts tens of thousands of visitors and locals each year, offering a joyous and enriching experience to audiences of all ages. Picture a thriving cultural ecosystem that provides local performers, designers, musicians, and technicians new opportunities to make a living doing what they love. Envision students — from Walla Walla schools and beyond — gaining unparalleled experience, training, and mentorship that launches them into the next chapters of their artistic and professional lives.

This is the opportunity before us — and the moment to make it real.

We invite you to join us on this journey. Your support can help us build a new and permanent home at the Fort Walla Walla Amphitheater and will secure a legacy of artistic excellence and community impact for generations to come. Together, we can ensure that Walla Walla Summer Theater takes its rightful place as a distinguished cultural beacon in the Northwest.
