Tonya Gaddy is a scenic designer who has recently graduated from Eastern Washington University (June 2021) with a degree in Theatre and Mechanical Engineering. While focusing the last two years exclusively within the theatre working her way from properties to scenic design, Tonya became the first EWU student to design a set for the school’s main stage production. She has been awarded the KCACTF Certificate of Merit for Properties under Urinetown the Musical and the KCACTF Certificate of Merit for Scenic & Projection Design under Songs for A New World.

Outside of the theatre, Tonya spends most of her time training her young St. Bernard/Poodle Charlie, watching horror movies, and exploring different ways of storytelling. She one day aspires to join the theme park industry by designing installations, attractions, and events.
