The History of C.A.S.T.

Founded in 1997 by Dr. Richard Noland and Tamara McGinnis, C.A.S.T. (first called the Western Baptist Theatre Arts Council) has enabled drama students to participate in conferences and plays by offering scholarships. The group’s funding also supplements the University’s theatre budget, ensuring higher-quality productions. Monies are used to hire experienced technicians and to purchase props, costumes, and set materials. C.A.S.T., in short, has played a significant part not only in broadening the possibilities for theatre at Corban, but also in elevating the standard of performances.
