OFFSTAGE HONORS CEREMONY
TO RECOGNIZE
STAFF WORK BEHIND THE SCENES
The sixth annual
LOWT OFFSTAGE HONORS will be held on
Monday, May 19, from 5 to 8pm
at Woolly Mammoth Theatre, 641
D Street, NW, Washington, DC
to honor the special staff, board
members, and volunteers who make what's on stage possible. Each
LOWT
member organization is invited to honor a member of their staff whose
exemplary
contribution “off-stage” has gone above and beyond. Honorees might come
from
front of house, box office, administration, stage management or
backstage crew,
or even volunteers.
Here are the 2008
Offstage Award Honorees.
"We all know that the people
offstage, everyone from resident staff to
stage managers, are often the heart and soul of our organizations,
giving their time, expertise and hard work in support of the artistic
process without the spotlight of recognition," said LOWT President,
David Snider. "Join us in honoring
these unsung heroes of DC theatre, who have made and continue to make
DC one of the most exciting, vital and productive theatre communities
in the nation and the world."
The evening
will be an informal cocktail party held at Woolly Mammoth Theatre where
each honoree will be announced and will
receive an
award. This event is open to honorees, their guests, selected
theatre-media,
and individual staff members, board, and volunteers of LOWT member
organizations and friends of the theatre community. The cost for
individuals is
$5 at the door and includes tasty hors d'oeuvres;
there
will be a cash bar.
