Valued experience and love of theatre at the helm

Gretchen Powers, WRCT Executive Director, is excited to be at the helm at WRCT. She is a solid believer in building and growing community organizations. Gretchen's involvement with WRCT began as a child when she would participate in children’s theatre. As she grew older, she was involved in several mainstage shows, of which she has fond memories. Gretchen has worked on backstage crews, helped with props and lights, and directed "It's a Wonderful Life" and "The Odd Couple." She has directed youth productions, written several children's plays, and is a co-founder of “HOPO” Productions. Gretchen has a degree in sociology/social work from UWSP, and previously worked as a social worker for people with disabilities. In her spare time, she enjoys photography, writing, and spending time with her children, Amethyst and Finley, and her fiancé, fellow WRCT regular Keith Schultz.
