About Interplayers
Mission
The mission of Spokane Interplayers Ensemble is to provide
dynamic and innovative professional theatre to Spokane and the Inland
Northwest. By developing and nurturing our regional talent base,
raising the creative standards for regional theatrical production and
expanding our artistic programming, Spokane Interplayers Ensemble
strengthens its position as a significant Inland Northwest arts
institution with local, regional and national impact.
History
In 1980, Spokane Interplayers Ensemble was founded by professional
actors Robert and Joan Welch as the Inland Northwest's first resident
professional theatre. It is a traditionally structured, not-for-profit
theatre, with a professional staff and governed by a
community-based board of directors. In its 29-year history the theatre
has grown to become a recognized artistic institution of influence and
impact.
Community
Interplayers is a major contributor to the region's cultural quality
of life, and is pivotal to the economic revitalization of downtown
Spokane. The theatre works diligently to provide challenging, diverse
and inspiring productions.
IPT has been honored with numerous awards.
