Clint Gill is a longtime Shelby County Community Theatre actor, director, teacher, and volunteer.

Clint’s involvement with local theatre companies includes SCCT, Looking for Lilith Theatre Company, Josephine Shakespeare Summer Stage, Bunbury Theatre, The Necessary Theatre, The Boat House Troupe, Louisville Repertory Company, Kentucky Contemporary Theatre, and many others. In addition to many directing credits, he has appeared in several SCCT productions, taught acting courses, and served as an SCCT ambassador for presentations at area schools. Gill gratefully makes his home in Simpsonville with his wife, Sacha Powers, and their children, Corey and Kennedy.

Emily has directed, acted in, and choreographed numerous shows at SCCT in the previous nine years, and teaches the very popular youth acting camp series. She owns and teaches at Gotta Dance Studio in Shelbyville and is the proud mother of Jaxon and Cooper. 

Dr. Jack Wann has spent his entire lifetime in theatre. In both the academic and the professional worlds, Dr. Wann has impacted hundreds of actors, students and colleagues all over the country. A proud Equity and SAG/AFTRA member throughout his career and a high profile university scholar, professor and administrator, he brings to SCCT the same “do good work well” philosophy that has been the hallmark of his earlier efforts. His “moving others” (his students and acting companies) to “move others” (the audience) has already made him a major asset to the “Gem on Main Street.” Quality productions, the nurturing of our upstairs experimental theatre, his teaching, and his recent excursions into playwriting have provided him with ever increasing outlets for his passionate love for the theatre and what it can do.
