Will Weigler
Will Weigler is based in Victoria, B.C. In 2006 he created a project with the citizens of Darrington, Washington. In this small town of 1,136 people, the “Tarheel loggers” and people of the Sauk-Suiattle First Nation rarely spoke to one another. After living in Darrington for several months, Weigler wrote a play called “Common Wealth” to help these separated populations tell each other their stories. Months of research and community organizing culminated in performances that drew over half the town’s population. The project brought diverse people together for an empowering moment of community.
