Douglas Ramey. Among the actors who started with Ramey and went on to achieve national recognition in the theatre are Mitch Ryan, Ned Beatty, and Warren Oates. In addition to initiating free performances in Louisville's Central Park, Ramey began a "Students for Shakespeare" program which evolved into the "Shakespeare Comes to Kentucky Schools", the forerunner of our current Will on Wheels educational outreach programs.
