Nancy was integral in the founding of this theatre program and was a devoted friend and teacher. West is extremely proud to offer this scholarship in Nancy’s memory.

Each of the one-acts is directed by an Acting III student and features the burgeoning talent of Acting One. Several West Theatre stars—Chris Ray, Harry Townsley, Andrew Genskow, Jon Kovach—all appeared in One-Acts prior to making their main stage debuts. Not only do the one-acts feature the West Theatre stars of tomorrow, but they enable us to witness the directing talents of our more experienced acting students. Shows have not been selected, but the directors are hard at work choosing their plays.
