Truman to Serve Tennessee Theatre Association
A Walters State instructor will represent East Tennessee on the Tennessee Theatre
Association.
Jack Truman, instructor of theatre and director of the theatre program at the college,
will represent the theatre community to high schools across Tennessee.
"I'm honored to be a part of this association" Truman said. "I feel it is important
to make a difference in the lives of young people and theatre is one way to do it.
Theatre is a form of basic communication and expression. I hope to share this with
more East Tennessee students.”
Truman’s 35 years in the entertainment industry include work in television, film and
stage. He is an independent filmmaker, and his movies have appeared at over 6000 film
festivals around the country. He is the founder of the Holly Weird Film Festival in
Los Angeles. His first production at Walters State was John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and
Men.” He plans to produce “Crimes of the Heart” in April.
The Tennessee Theatre Association strives to grow and improve theatre arts in Tennessee.
Their mission is to unite people and groups from throughout the state with a common
interest in theatre arts.
