“Theatre Artists, an Exhibit” will feature artwork by Paul Looney, John Paul Snead, and Bridget Winder, all of whom have been involved with Theatre Tuscaloosa on more than one occasion.

Paul Looney, Theatre Tuscaloosa Artistic Director Emeritus, has directed more than a hundred shows at Theatre Tuscaloosa. He also holds the title of Executive Producer of the Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame. Looney has received numerous Druid Arts Awards and the prestigious Governor’s Arts Award. Looney is recognized for his skills as a director, designer, and performer.

John Paul Snead is a musical theatre graduate from The University of Alabama now pursuing a Master of Public Administration at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Bridget Winder, also a musical theatre graduate from UA, performed in Theatre Tuscaloosa’s productions of Gypsy and Bye Bye Birdie. Following her dream of becoming a professional actor, Winder moved to Los Angeles, California, where she is now a working artist. Bridget Winder Art is currently on tour making its final debut in her adopted hometown of Tuscaloosa.

“We are so proud of these three folks. Not only are they talented thespians, they are also amazing visual artists,” says Tina Turley, Executive Producer of Theatre Tuscaloosa. “We’re hosting this event to show that Tuscaloosa talent runs deep!”
