Mickie Cosgriff - 40 Plays in Eight Years By: Roy Riedy |
Since the musical Gigi, directed by Marian L. Dunham, in August,1995, Mickie Cosgriff's name has appeared in forty Highlands Little Theatre programs as one of its House Managers or a member of the Gourmet Staff, or both, the latest being the August, 2003, production of The Fantasticks, directed by Sue McCollum. Mickie has been involved in every main stage show since she joined the Little Theatre eight years ago, surely some kind of record.
In addition to her name being mentioned in the theatre's programs, her name has also appeared in nine HLT Newsletter during her years with the Lakeside Playhouse. All of her appearances in the newsletters are in appreciation for her work with Brushes and Brooms, her House Manager work, and her other volunteer work with mass mailings.
Her last citation appeared in the October, 2003, HLT Newsletter that announced that she and Bill LaPeer were the recipients of the September, 2003 Gracie Award. The article went on to say: ". . . two very special members, Mickie Cosgriff and Bill LaPeer have donated countless hours keeping HLT beautiful with the Brushes and Brooms Committee and as House Managers. Mickie and Bill are familiar faces to any HLT member or patron who has attended a show recently. Thank you for your dedication to HLT. Your fellow thespians truly appreciate you!"
The Gracie Award is indeed an indication of many hours spent in the service of the Little Theatre and it is the organization's way of expressing its gratitude and thanks from an alert and appreciative Board of Directors who speak for all members. Congratulations Mickie.
