I.A. O’Shaughnessy Center
WTC began as an idea in 1978, an idea of bringing
live theatre to Whitefish. For the next five years, WTC
mounted two productions a year as well as sponsoring
several performing arts groups. By 1988, WTC mounted two
productions, sponsored three events, and hired a full
time artistic director.
As productions grew in the 1990’s, WTC established a
building fund. Sparked by the generous contribution from
the I.A. O’Shaughnessy Foundation, the community funded
cultural arts center opened in 1998. Today, with a
long-term lease with the City of Whitefish, WTC sponsors
or produces the majority of events at the Center. Other
Flathead Valley organizations use the facility as well.
The I.A. O’Shaughnessy Center has become the premiere
arts center in the Flathead Valley. It is a place for
young and old to see a good play, listen to fine music,
view local artwork, discuss a burning issue, or gather
for a meeting. Please join us as we seek to provide
the valley with the very best of the arts and cultural
arts center for all to enjoy.
VISUAL ARTS
The lobby of the O’Shaughnessy Center provides space for
large three-dimensional artworks and hosts a wonderful
variety of visual art displays including art shows,
photography exhibits, quilt displays, and local high
school art.
OTHER USES
When not used by WTC, the O’Shaughnessy Center is
available to other organizations, businesses and
individuals in the community. Dance classes and
recitals, art and antique shows, slide shows, speakers,
public forums, and school and chamber events are just a
few of the activities held here.
OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
WTC continually seeks new ways to reach out to the
community. Annually, WTC hosts summer camps for area
youth in music, movement and dance, and theatre
performance. Taught by professional guest directors from
around the country, local children have fun learning and
performing arts for a week or more. In conjunction with
the music series and professional touring companies, WTC
sponsors school performances and hand-on cultural
exploration through dance, musical instrument making,
and after-school theatre instruction. A variety of
workshops including auditioning, directing, dialects,
movement and the technical aspects of theatre are open
to adults.
Masks will be required at auditions.Please come through the North door (parking lot) and
arrive in time to fill out an audition form. No preparation is necessary.
