The First Five Years
From the beginning, ACT I of Benton County established a record of quality community theatre. Many individuals instrumental in establishing our traditions at the beginning are still active in the group today. Our opening production, You Can't Take it With You, was helped along by the efforts of Linda Radcliffe, Ron and Nancy Baldwin, Colleen Stufflebeam, and Julie Zimmer, all of whom are still active in our theatre today. Others who began with us in those very early years include Dorothy (Bliss) Albert, Dottie Anthony, Lois Banse, Dean and Nancy Beckman, Marsh Berry, Dan and Lee Campbell, Orin Calhoun, Deb Fowler, Jim and Caroline Galvalas, Nancy Geiken, Marc Greenlee, Jim Hilliard, Theresa Juhl, Bob LaGrange, Sally Ludden, Judy Mitschelen, Keith and Becky Mossman, Elaine Olsen, Richard Paulus, Mary Prochaska, Anna Bess Rice, and Jill Roberts, many of whom continue to contribute to our productions.
