Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance

The mission of the Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance is to inspire, transform and unite the people of the Triad through a broad range of unique, diverse and unconventional theatrical experiences. We are an all volunteer, all inclusive community theatre. WSTA was founded by director Fred Gorelick in 1983. Gorelick, who taught acting classes at the Little Theatre of Winston Salem, began productions to showcase his students work. His tireless energy and tenacity resulted in a permanent functioning theatre, WSTA, which was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. In the 1990s Michael Huie was appointed Artistic Director and held that title until 2001. The seasons became more ambitious with musicals like Nunsense and Pump Boys and Dinettes joining serious dramas like Burn This and The Heidi Chronicles plus uproarious comedies.
