Van Wert Civic Theatre recently held their Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet. We are thrilled to announce the recipients of the 2023-2024 awards, celebrating the incredible talent and hard work of our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most prestigious award, the Trustee Award, which recognizes individuals who have demonstrated exceptional dedication, leadership and service to the theatre, was presented to Dale Terry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Terry Plas presented the President\u2019s Award to Doug and Sandra Grooms for their efforts in providing support to her and the theatre community over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each production, a Company Choice award is given, selected by the director or cast for special efforts made during the production. Honorees were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disaster \u2013 Mary Ann Falk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry Wrong Chimney \u2013 Austin and Gabrielle Sheets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misery \u2013 Jan Miller<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hands on a Hardbody \u2013 Keith Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gypsy Robe, a tradition at VWCT patterned after the Broadway tradition of the same name, is awarded to a chorus member in a musical. This year, it was presented to Courtney Wendel for Disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The People\u2019s Choice Award, given to the production with the highest attendance, went to Hands on a Hardbody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A panel of adjudicators attends one performance of each show during the season. They then meet to select the cast and crew for various awards. For a full list of award winners, visit the theatre\u2019s Facebook page or vwct.org under the “Information” tab in the “News” section. Additionally, you can find more information about the last two shows of the summer, The True Story of Hey Diddle Diddle and Urinetown, as well as details about the upcoming 2024-2025 season on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to more outstanding performances and community spirit in the upcoming 2024-2025 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
