Acknowledgements:
This event depended on the “kindness of strangers” and a lot of very special people—actors, dancers, singers, crew members, donors and volunteers who gave their time and energy. This website is not big enough to list everyone by name. We have listed the names of all performers and “re-enactors” in the schedule.

A Special Thanks is due to the following individuals and organizations that generously helped with the research, planning and execution of the Columbia Theatre’s Living Theatre Tour:

  Lisa Allen – Banda’s Bouquets
Ron Berg & Candy Fountain
Cascade Players
Jennifer Cheney – Costume Director
Michael Cheney – Artist Director
John & Mary Chilson – The Merk
Columbia Theatre Guild & Ushers
Karen Dennis – Longview Public Library
David Freece – Cowlitz County Historical Museum
Donna Gerlock – Clatskanie Cruisers
Rob Lewis – Historic Stagecoach
Mark Plotkin – Model A’s of Cowlitz County
Kelly Ragsdale – Technical Director
Slocum House Theatre Company

Thanks to each and all of you. – Helen Gundlach, Producer
