Olivia Scott - A Name Associated with Forty-nine Plays and Anthony's Lounge By: Roy Riedy |
Olivia appeared on the HLT scene in the playbill of Frank Oberhausen's reprise of Camelot in April, 1993, as a seamstress and a member of the Stage Crew. Two plays later she was listed in the program of Jet Hansen's Show Boat as a member of his Set Construction team.
The following season, HLT's Twentieth, Olivia was associated with all five shows. She worked in Anthony's Lounge during four of the plays and was a member of Frank Oberhausen's Stage Crew for his April, 1994, retelling of South Pacific.
The Twenty-first Season opened with Jim Lanier's Gypsy and Olivia was listed in the playbill for that show as being a member of the Set Construction team and also on the staff working in Anthony's Lounge where she helped out for the rest of the season.
During the Twenty-Second Season Olivia devoted all her energies during the presentation of the five plays to working in Anthony's Lounge, a devotion that was not overlooked when she was rewarded for her loyalty to the lounge with her first Zenon in October,1996, at the Eleventh Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony, a Board Service Award that she shared with David Scott.
Olivia, now the Assistant Chairman of Anthony's Lounge, worked there during all five plays of the Twenty-third Season and was again rewarded for her dedication in October, 1997, by a nomination for another Board Service Award at the Twelfth Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony.
The Twenty-fourth Season at HLT was a re-play of the Twenty-third. Olivia worked in Anthony's Lounge during all five stage productions and was again nominated for a Board Service Award at the Zenon Ceremony in October, 1998.
Things remained the same during the Twenty-fifth Season, Olivia worked in the lounge during all five plays, with the exception that in the playbill for Beverly Brando Gillilan's production of Arsenic and Old Lace, Tom Waldron and Lindsay Byron were now listed as the Co-Chairmen of Anthony's Lounge with Olivia's name still remaining as a member of its staff.
The Twenty-sixth Season brought little change in the routine of the members of the Anthony's Lounge, there was a change of Chairmen in June when Margie Pollard replaced Tom Waldron, but Olivia remained a reoccurring name as a member of its staff during all five play productions.
In June of the Twenty-seventh Season, Victor Anderson was named Chairman of Anthony's Lounge, this was the only deviation from what was again another typical season at Anthony's with Olivia as a welcoming presence during all five stage presentations. In October,2001, at the Sixteenth Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony, the audience had a rare glimpse of Olivia on the Lakeside Playhouse stage when she and Lisa Thomas were presenters for the Board Service Awards.
Olivia's name appeared in all the programs for the Twenty-eighth Season and for the two that have been presented in the current season, the Twenty-ninth, for a total of 49 plays, and I believe I can safely say, her name will continue to appear for many more. In addition to the 49 plays, Mrs. Scott has been associated with 4 Zenon Ceremonies. She has won one Board Service Award, been nominated for two others, and been a presenter at one Zenon Ceremony. Olivia has had her name mentioned in 13 HLT Newsletters and 3 local News Articles for a total of 69 Citations. Congratulations Olivia for the untold hours of service you have given to Highlands Little Theatre.
