Wetumpka Depot Players to Host Grace Bishop Scholarship Benefit

When the Wetumpka Depot Players were in their infancy 35 years ago, the founders of the now award-winning, nationally recognized community theatre  had a vision to provide entertainment and theatre education to the Wetumpka community. Among those visionaries was Grace K. Bishop.  Bishop was a long time educator, artist , author and well known community leader. In memory and in honor of Bishop's contributions to the community, the  Wetumpka Depot Players invest in future talent and potential leaders in the theatre industry by awarding college students majoring in theatre and other arts related university programs, scholarships through the Grace Kappes Bishop Scholarship fund.
