Will Waltermire has been performing, writing, directing, and choreographing theatre for as long as he can remember. After his first production in 2017, he's been captivated by the creative possibilities that theatre offers to the world. After writing a monologue in a theatre course, he was instantly intrigued and decided to keep writing monologues for fun. But he wanted to share his work, so Lighthouse Theatre Dramatic Publishing Company was born: a place for art to be shared for everyone: no strings attached.
