Biographical / Historical
The William Edrington Scott Theatre opened in 1966. The theater was made possible
when Mr. Scott died in 1961, leaving $3,000,000 in trust as the Scott Foundation to be
used to help develop Fort Worth's Cultural District. The Scott Theatre Actors Repertory
Company (STARCO) developed as a summer repertory theater in cooperation with the
drama departments of Texas Christian University and Southern Methodist University.
The theater attempted to establish it as a permanent professional troupe, but the company
folded after three seasons. Directors of the group were Dr. Jack Cogdill of TCU and Jack
Clay from SMU. The Scott Theatre, as it is now known, is still in operation and an active
part of the Fort Worth Cultural District.
