Barbara Ann "Bobbie" Haege - Dedication And Conscientious Efforts By: Roy Riedy |
Bobbie Haege's name was first associated with Highlands Little Theatre eleven years ago when her name appeared in the playbill of Peter Pollard's production of They're Playing Our Song. Bobbie's name was one of five that were credited as working with the costumes of that play. Since that time her name has appeared in the programs of twelve other plays. The last play was the January, 2003, reprise of Steel Magnolias, again directed by Mr. Pollard. Mrs. Haege was working on the costumes for this production when she passed away a few days before Christmas.
Bobbie received her Gracie Award in January, 2002, which was accompanied by this tribute: "January's Gracie Award recipient was Bobbie Haege for her dedication and conscientious efforts in locating props, costumes, materials and items for the theater in her daily wardrobe travels. She has helped in the Wardrobe Department spending countless hours - cleaning, straightening up, washing, ironing, sewing. She as been there in a crisis before a show and even during it. Thanks for being there for us Bobbie! Keep up the good work."
In addition to her credits in the thirteen playbills and her Gracie Award, Bobbie was mentioned in two Zenon programs in which she was nominated for Best Costuming Awards in 1992, for They're Playing Our Song and again in 2002, for Foxfire. Her name also appeared in one First Nighter program, eleven HLT Newsletters, and twenty-one local news articles for a grand total of forty-eight citations. Her many contributions to HLT will be greatly missed.
