What makes a Community Theater thrive for 87 years? The Story of the Theatre of Western Springs

The Theatre of Western Springs is a very successful community theatre that has as its mission “to entertain, to educate, and to inspire across the generations through the art of live theatre.” He has recently retired as managing director of TWS where he held the position for 8 years, so Bill Hammack is in a unique position to talk about the history, the present and the future of this venerable playhouse. He illustrates his talk with photographs from past productions and fascinating looks behind-the-scenes of this 87 year-old institution.
