West Virginia Wesleyan College’s Department of Theatre Arts, Valley
Ridge Studio, and Theatre West Virginia recently became partners to help
broaden their audiences and visibility in the state of West Virginia and
to share resources to realize more fully their respective missions. The partnership will enable Wesleyan students an opportunity to audition and interview for summer internships. This will help students complete their internship requirements, and offer the professional theatre a source of talent for summer endeavors. Also, the partnership will share resources such as costumes, props, professional contacts and publicity venues as agreed upon by the faculty and/or staff of the theatres. Wesleyan students are currently performing in productions for Valley Ridge Studio, a performing arts organization located in Thomas, West Virginia.
