Inside the Program

All-student production wins national honor.

Student playwright receives national honors 

Theatre students at WSU have many opportunities to show off their talents on a big stage.

Josh Whedon's original play, "States of Happiness," won the WSU Playwriting Competition before being chosen for a regional performance in Iowa.

The critics were impressed, because "States of Happiness" -- an all-student production -- was then honored as one of only 10 distinguished productions in the nation by the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Washington, D.C.
