Description

"We have a lot of wonderful people making a lot of wonderful art" is how Eddie Sugarman describes the Theatre of Western Springs. As Executive Artistic Director, Sugarman has guided the Theatre for almost seven years. When asked what that means, he said: "I lead the organization in collaboration with our board of governors, our staff, and a large number of dedicated volunteers including our adult members (called Actives) and our Children's Theatre families... "Pre-pandemic, we put on 12 productions a year on our 2 stages as well as a large number of classes, camps, and educational workshops in all aspects of the theatrical arts. It's a wonderful place that one of my friends calls a "happiness machine." I think that's a pretty wonderful description of TWS actually."
