The  Western Washington Theatrical Training Trust began in 2009 as an outgrowth of the desire to found a continuing education program geared towards professionals already working in the theater industry. Formed as a partnership between trustees of various theatrical employers and the union membership who work for these employers, the Trust has presented 393 classes since its inception. More than 3,750 workers have completed WWTTT courses.

The Trust is a non-profit public charity, exempt under section 501 (c) (3), since December 16, 2002. Our Board of Trustees equally represents employers and employees in the theater, concert, movie and trade show business:

David Allen, Employer Trustee
Jay Markham, Employer Trustee
Carrie Steficek, Union Trustee
Bernie Griffin, Employer Trustee
Bess Sullivan, Union Trustee
