Karen Bach - Concerned With Tickets Over A Decade By: Roy Riedy |
Karen Bach has been concerned with Little Theatre Box Office duties since 1992 when she first started her affiliation with HLT. Since that time she has not only been associated with ticket sales for forty-two plays but also been seen on the stage in three of them. Karen was in the chorus of Frank Oberhausen's 1992 production of Funny Girl; a royal wife in Kathy MacNeill and Frank Oberhausen's 2001 production of The King and I; and most recently, one of the town people in Kathy MacNeill and Frank Oberhausen's 2003 production of Brigadoon.
In May, 2000, Ms. Bach was honored with a Gracie Award for her eight years of work in the Lakeside Playhouse's Box Office, the award coinciding with her new title of Chairperson of the Box Office, a title she still holds
Besides her involvement in forty-two plays and three roles, Karen has been nominated for a Board Service Zenon at the last three Zenon Ceremonies for her Outstanding Achievement as the Chairperson of the HLT Box Office. The nominations became a reality at the 18th Annual Zenon Ceremonies in October, 2003, when Karen received a Board Service Zenon for "Outstanding Achievement as Chairperson of the Box Office. Her name has also appeared in ten local news articles and in sixteen HLT Newsletters for a total of seventy different citations.
The Little Theatre is indeed fortunate to have a dedicated and experienced worker of her caliber in such a necessary and strategic position. Thank you for your years of service Karen, your generous assistance has helped make the Highlands Little Theatre the outstanding organization that it is today.
The May 2007, Gracie winner was announced at the June Membership meeting by Administrative Assistant Vanessa Logsdon who told the audience, "Tonight's Gracie winner is a long-standing member of HLT, and a familiar face to everyone, members and patrons alike. She is responsible for a vital area of the theatre, and it is doubtful that most realize just how much work is necessary to make this department operate smoothly and efficiently. Just the hours of preparation and excution that goes into season ticket sales is staggering. Add to that a certain Administrative Assistant who consistenly invents new forms and more paperwork, all of which is cheerfully accepted without a word of complaint. We had to keep the name of May's winner a secret because for the first time in seven years, she took a much-deserved vacation. Finally, without further ado, the May 2007, Gracie award goes to Karen Bach."
Coincidently, May 2007 marks the fifteenth year that Mrs. Bach has been associated with the HLT box office. Congratulations Karen on your recent and well deserved recognition of your long and faithful service to HLT, few of the members can match your outstanding record.
