Gary Johnson - Actor and Singer By: Roy Riedy |
Gary Johnson is no stranger to the Zenon Ceremonies. In October, 2001, he was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his part of Tony in Tammie Pollard's challenging musical, West Side Story, at the Sixteenth Annual Zenon Ceremonies.
Two years later he shared the nomination for Best Set Design with Director Pete Pollard which enhanced Mr. Pollard's reprise of Steel Magnolias.
The third time proved to be the charm when at the Nineteenth Zenon Ceremonies Gary won the award for the Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his part as Chauvlin in the March, 2004, musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel. The same evening he electrified the gala audience when he sang the well known song "Music of the Night" from The Phantom of the Opera.
Besides his obvious singing and acting abilities, Mr. Johnson has worked back stage on set construction for Melanie Boulay's 2002 presentation of Peter Pan, and Pete Pollard's revival of Steel Magnolias in 2003 as Set Construction Manager.
In all, he has been associated with five plays and three Zenons Ceremonies at the Lakeside Playhouse. His name has appeared in eleven HLT Newsletters and twenty-three local news articles for a total of forty-three citations.
Congratulations Gary on your well deserved and long overdue award. I know I'm not alone in looking forward to seeing you soon on the stage of Highlands Little Theatre, doing what you do so well.
