Darrel Smith - Official Photographer By: Roy Riedy |
Darrel Smith started photographing the members and casts of Highlands Little Theatre in April, 1986, when he photographed Peter Pollard's production of Joseph Kesselring's classic comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace. Coincidently, the last show he photographed in his capacity as Official HLT Photographer was the revival of that play in June, 1999, directed this time by Beverly Brando Gillilan. During the intervening thirteen years, Mr.Smith recorded the casts and sets of 54 of the 64 other Little Theatre productions presented during that time.
At the Sixth Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony held on October 5, 1991, Darrel and Candy Smith were awarded a Board Service Award "for outstanding contributions to the theatre through their donations of time, talent and funds, resulting in superb cast and program photographs, specialty photography and portraits."
Their names were reiterated in the Tenth Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony when an Index of Zenon Winners was published in the program of that Ceremony. Darrel and Candy Smith were also listed as members of the Zenon Awards Production Staff for the Eleventh Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony in October, 1996, as Lighting Technicians for that event.
Mr. Smith was involved with the photos of 56 plays during his association with HLT; he was cited in three Zenon Programs, and won, with his wife, Candy, one Board Service Award in 1991. He has been mentioned in 4 HLT Newsletters and 8 local news articles for a total of 71 Citations. Thank you Darrel for your irreplaceable pictorial record of Highlands Little Theatre's theatrical performances and the people who made those shows possible.
