The Little Theatre of Walla Walla is made possible by the efforts of Volunteers. Each month, we will shine a spotlight on an individual who helps create magic at the Theatre possible.

Volunteer Spotlight: Ollie Allen

Hi! My name is Ollie Allen, and I just started my freshman year of college at Wagner College on Staten Island, NYC! It has been my dream to study theatre in New York since I was 8 years old, and I wouldn’t have accomplished it without The Little Theatre of Walla Walla. The Little Theatre has been my home since I was 13 years old, and playing Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, directed by Robert and Cheryl. Robert and Cheryl welcomed me immediately, making The Little Theatre a safe space right off the bat. I met so many amazing people through that show, and it will always have a special place in my heart for it. Over the years, I got more and more involved, and became more and more intertwined with the Little Theatre family. Before I left, I was on the Youth Committee and the Events Committee, and I ushered and sometimes helped with setting up and taking down the sets. The people I have met through the theatre are some of my favorite people in the world, and bringing others into our little community, like my best friend and other half Jordan Fox, has been one of my favorite parts of life so far. I owe so much of who I am and what I’ve accomplished to The Little Theatre community. They helped me to truly believe in myself, and showed me all the love in the world, and for that I am forever grateful.
