A Brief History of the Weyauwega Arts Organization
Kathy and Ian purchased the Gerold Opera House in the summer of ’07, and began extensive renovations. The first big event was a concert with Annie Hughes, on November 31st of 2007. In August of 2008 we met Holly Martin who has made it possible for us to progress. She built the website, worked on grants, and helped inspire us. She has a theater and musical theater background and brings true enthusiasm and understanding. Our next project is to complete the renovations in the balcony so that we may open it to the public.

In March of 2007 Kathy Fehl and Ian Teal formed the Weyauwega Arts Organization. They applied for 501c3 status, which in due course was approved. Their hope was and remains to nurture young people, giving them an opportunity to express themselves. Besides this is the wish to develop original theater pieces of all kinds, and bring them to the public. Kathy and Ian each have a background in writing, directing and producing theater and film.
