Peg Dietrich, Ann Holt, Steven Hug, Tony Krupa, Denise Krzescicki, and Antoinette La Cinski.
Tommy Price, son of
Robert and Heather Price, presented the results of the project he completed for CSJ, which resulted in the group acquiring a professional display board. Tommy's project was part of working towards his Eagle Scout status.
In an unexpected move the
President's Award was given to the
Middle School at Parkside. To prepare for the CSJ production of
To Kill a Mockingbird in their auditorium, Jackson Public Schools refurbished the entire space to support the National Endownment for the Arts funded
Big Read last March. Over 2,000 students were able to see this production. President
Christine Gorton was asked to chose the recipient based on the greatest contribution made during the 2006 - 2007 season.
Past President
Ann Holt was also honored with the
Ted Wood Award.
Michael Wood and his wife
Susan were involved in selecting the winner of this award
named for Michael's father. The first recipient of the award,
Bill Insley, wrote that, "Community theatre in the Jackson area might never have endured without the dedicated efforts of Ted Wood, and he showed no partiality to any one players' group [Clark Lake Players or Jackson Civic Theatre] . . . He was a tireless worker. . . And his happy, friendly manner in the box office gave our patrons a warm feeling of welcome." The award was originally given by the Jackson Civic Theatre at Stone Village many years ago.
