Seasons on this stage
In 1976 Mr. McCleery put a challenge to Washington: match his gift, and the town would have a theater. He wanted the community his employees lived and worked in to have a stage of its own. Washington met him dollar for dollar, and the doors opened.
Fifty seasons later the stage still belongs to the people who built it — Y's Men's Club revues, HARP Players, high school productions, dance competitions and county fair talent shows. In 2015 the WCC Presents series began bringing regional and national talent to town.
