Del and Vonny Boarts, technicians 
Del Boarts worked as the Penn State Department of Theatre Arts technician and sound person from 1964 until his retirement in 2000. In 1975 he designed the sound systems for the five Bicentennial Wagon Trains Show troupes. Del visited all five Wagon Train companies to trouble shoot the sound systems. Del worked with the Secret Service at Valley Forge to prepare for the July 4th arrival of the five trains and the visit of President Gerald Ford. Del’s wife Vonny also worked in TAPS (Theatre Arts Production Studio) scene shop helping to build the sets and sound systems. Vonny went out with four Wagon Train Show companies to get them started and make sure the sets and equipment were working properly. Vonny stage managed and traveled with Company #1 on the Ohio River from the state of Indiana to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and then overland to Valley Forge. Both Del and Vonny spent most of the summer at the Valley Forge Encampment assisting with the daily Wagon Train Show performances and local and state entertainment groups.
 (Note from the webmaster) Del was the indispensable master of all things technical in the School of Theatre for many decades. He is now the audio, photo, and video archivist for The Wagon Train Show. He and Vonny live in State College.

Douglas Cook, producer Before coming to Penn State as Head of the Department of Theatre and Film and Producer of the summer Festival Theatre, Doug was Chairman of the Theatre Department at the University of California, Riverside, and Associate Producer of the Utah Shakespearean Festival.

Soon after arriving at Penn State, Doug was approached by a state committee planning the Bicentennial Celebration in 1976 at Valley Forge, asking if we could prepare an entertainment production for each wagon train traveling to Valley Forge from various places in the 
country. The brave team from Theatre and Music said, "Yes!" and the rest is history.

Since retiring from Penn State in 1991, Doug returned to work with the Utah Shakespearean Festival as Producing Artistic Director. In 2000, the theatre was awarded the Tony for Outstanding Regional Theatre. Doug and his wife Joan retired recently to his family home in Phoenix, Arizona.
