Bill Jenkins is thrilled to return to ATI after last directing Always, Patsy Cline. He serves as Chair of Ball State University’s Department of Theatre and Dance where he is a Full Professor. He is a proud member of the Society of Director’s and Choreographers Union (SDC) and his directorial experiences includes over twenty shows directed at Ball State and regional work at Drury Lane Oakbrook, Noble Fool Theatre, The Clarence Brown Theatre, Illinois Shakespeare Festival, and Nebraska Repertory Theatre among others. In April, Bill will return to the stage where he will play the role of Edna Turnblad in Hairspray at Ball State. His greatest role is that of husband to his beautiful wife, Sarah and father to his beautiful daughter Catherine Rose and his little boy Teddy Ryan. Sincere thanks to the ATI family for this opportunity.
