"The Weathervane Theatre Alumni Association is dedicated to enlarging creative and financial support for the Weathervane Theatre by maintaining a network of former staff and company members of the theatre, by fostering greater awareness of the theatre, and by establishing and maintaining a fund of contributions from alumni and other supporters to be used to further the goals and purposes of the theatre."

To That End, We Have...

• Created a database from over 37 years of former staff and company members.
• Created an Alumni newsletter, "The Drummer Boy", which keeps everyone in touch and reconnects them with the Weathervane Theatre.
• Begun archiving 37 years of Weathervane production photographs and creating a duplicate electronic archive.
• Produced three annual benefit shows written, directed, acted and designed entirely by former and current company members.
• Purchased the historic 1894 Mount Washington Grange Hall and begun renovations to the 5,400sf building for use by the theatre as a rehearsal, storage and office facility.
• Begun the creation of a Weathervane Theatre Alumni Association website which will link to the Weathervane Theatre site.
• Produced several WVAA events in New York City to keep us connected and to help enlarge support for the theatre.
• Designed a two-year capital campaign to fund renovations and improvements to the WVAA-owned Mount Washington Grange Hall. This campaign has as its centerpiece the magnificent Alumni Family Tree mural (created by alum Michael Biddle) which bears the names of its supporters.

We are very proud of everything we’ve accomplished, but we have much more to do...
