PREVIOUS ARTISTIC DIRECTORS
Stan Gill served as Artistic Director of SecondStory Repertory for its first nine seasons. He consulted during the construction of our home in Redmond Town Center -- the seventh such theater he had a hand in creating during his career. Stan acted in and directed many of SecondStory's shows in those nine years, while also being the company's principal set designer and graphic designer. He also wrote and directed the shows in SSR's popular "Sprouts Children's Theatre" series, while frequently performing in them as well.
​
Our second Artistic Director was Susanna Wilson, who served in that position for Seasons 10 & 11. By that time, she had already directed several shows – beginning with the drama Proof back in our fifth season, and including such audience favorites as Anything Goes and My Fair Lady. Susanna also worked as our Marketing and Education Director. During her tenure as AD, SecondStory Repertory was awarded the Ruby Slipper Award for its Children’s Theatre series, as well as the City of Redmond Arts Award.
