Gloria Coffey - Seventeen Years of Public Spirit Finally Recognized By: Roy Riedy and Vanessa Logsdon |
Gloria Coffey has been a member of HLT since June, 1990, when she danced her way onto the HLT stage in Janelou Buck's production of Jerry Herman's great hit Hello Dolly!. Since that time, 17 years ago, Gloria has been involved in sixty plays at HLT, five Zenon Ceremonies, three CAT productions, one Christmas program, three First Nighters, and has been mentioned in forty-one HLT Newsletters and thirty-seven local news articles for a total of one hundred and fifty citations.
It is with great pleasure that I quote Vanessa Logsdon's tribute when she made known the winners of the March, 2007, Gracie Award: "Whoever termed Batman and Robin the dynamic duo had never met tonight's pair of winners. Those comic book guys don't come close to the amount of energy expended by these two. They were destined to be friends. Both like to play with "Dolly's". We've seen one onstage as a Madame, and the other as a gender confused character in a birdcage, and rumor has it that they recently danced their way through Alaska's inside passage. Never ones to let grass grow under their feet, tonight's accolades go to these ladies for their dedication, diligence and exhaustive work on the Scholarship committee. Please join me in a round of applause as the Gracie goes to Gloria Coffey and Lynda Fulcher.
Congratulations Gloria and Lynda, as they say in Chicago, "You Had It Coming."
