Barbara Rowell Endowment Fund
Barbara Rowell was QCT’s Managing Artistic Director from 1983 to 2006. Barbara’s impact on QCT’s past, present, and future cannot be overstated– she was not only a true champion of the art form, but also a fierce advocate for centering the theatre as a cultural cornerstone of our community. Perhaps most visible of Barbara’s diverse legacy is the very building that our theatre occupies. It was through Barbara’s singular vision and determination that QCT became a permanent resident of the brand-new Oakley Lindsay Civic Center in 1995.
Established in 2023, the endowment named in Barbara’s honor helps maintain the house that Barbara built and sustain the legacy that she created: to use the theatre as a means to challenge, educate, and inspire. With your help, QCT will thrive on and off stage for generations to come.
