Kris Schmidt - Two Awards in One Month By: Roy Riedy |
October, 2004, was an remarkable month for Highlands Little Theatre's serious volunteer, Kris Schmidt. Early in that month she was awarded a Gracie Award for her work with the Serving and Wait Staff of HLT and also for the work she had done helping in Wardrobe and Special Events.
A few days later, at the Nineteenth Annual Zenon Ceremonies, she was presented with a Zenon for Best Co-Producer, with Tammie Pollard, for their work on Jennifer Westergom's musical and costume spectacle, The Scarlet Pimpernel.
Since becoming a member of HLT in 2001, Kris has been associated with six theatrical events. She was concerned with costuming and set construction for Tammie Pollard's challenging, August, 2001, West Side Story; in 2002 she added props to her concerns for Melanie Boulay's buoyant musical, Peter Pan; and in November, 2003, she did props again for Melanie Boulay's invigorating musical review, I Love You, Your're Perfect, Now Change.
In 2004, Ms. Schmidt did props and her Zenon winning co-producting for The Scarlet Pimpernel, and involved herself with the Gourmet Division for the last two plays of the season, Lost in Yonkers and Jesus Christ, Superstar.
During the Thirty-first Season Kris was involved in all five main stage events. During the first four plays she worked as one of the Gourmet Chairs in the Gourmet Division. During the fifth production, Cabaret, Mrs. Schmidt acted as the show's Producer and won her second Zenon for her efforts. Congratulations Kris for your generous gifts of time, energy, and skill; you are the hoped for volunteer that makes HLT look so good.
