William "Billy" Murphy Scholarship in Theatre

This scholarship was established in memory of William Billy Murphy who was active in Winnipeg’s theatrical community. Billy had toured with the Great Circus of China and extensively with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, and at the time of his demise in 2001 was the Head Electrician at the Pantages Playhouse Theatre and General Manager of Stage-lite Manitoba. It will be awarded annually to a theatre production student who has completed Theatre Production I and continues on to Theatre Production II.
