Clarkson Music Theatre would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who came out to celebrate the MTM Celebration of Artistry - in honour of the Encore Series. Each musical from the season presented a couple of songs. Mame showcased "Gooch's Song" and "Bosum Buddies" - each of which was recognized for a Musical Moment Award. We also congratulate our Best Males (Derek Faulconer and Mackenzie Faulkner), Best Females (Leslie Carney, Katie Westrope and Christine McMahon), our Design Award for program (Louise Ferguson) and our Tech Award for lighting (Tristan Tidswell). The Susan Horner Award for Most Helpful Cast member went to Kat Cordi and Leslie Carney. Congrats also to Susan Pringle (Board of Director's Award) and to Sean Moore and Paul Berdusco (Scott Shepherd Award). Thank You again to the entire cast, crew and team for your part in making Mame such a pleasure.
Deserving thanks also goes out to our cast, crew, team and audience of "To Hollywood, Love Broadway" which was a resounding success... We look forward to our next spring concert in 2014 when we hope to see many of you return as cast or audience.
