Josh Butchart (director and designer) is in his ninth year of teaching theatre at WHS. He studied theatre and education at Whitman College, and has two M.Ed.s in Educational Leadership and Public Policy from the University of Washington. He is the proud dad of two delightful kiddos, and the husband to an insanely patient and supportive "theatre widow." He is thrilled to return to a darker, serious drama after several years of comedies, as it highlights the diversity of talents the WHS Theater students bring to the community.
