Virginia Peck - Committee Lady By: Roy Riedy |
Virginia Peck's name appeared for the first time in a HLT program for Frank Oberhausen's musical Carousel in March, 1988, as a member of his Set Construction Team. It also appeared in the program of the following play, Janelou Buck's June,1988, production of Neil Simon's California Suite in the form of an announcement: "We are getting with it!! Thanks to the efforts of a new committee of Diane Arch, Virginia Peck and Grace Sagona, with the kindly loan by Dick Arabinko of his computer, the patrons (members), angels & guardian angels will be listed so the membership rolls are accurate. This will allow us to list who's who, and who's dues are due! This is a labor of love from which everyone benefits."
In September at the Third Annual Zenon Awards Ceremony, Virginia received a Board Service Zenon "for service with the Production Committee, wardrobe maintenance, Membership and Patrons committees, revisions & updating of the mailing list."
The next time Virginia's name appeared in a play program was in November, 1992, the playbill for Tena Conyer's Nunsense in which she was acknowledged for a service to the play.
Another rare sighting of Virginia's name was in the December, 1998 program for the Holiday Musical Review, Sounds of the Season, a Unity in the Community Project, held at the Lakeside Playhouse. The last time Virginia's name appeared in print was in the playbill for the November, 1999, John Lovelette production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in which she was thanked for a service to the theatre by the then President, Beverly Padgett.
During Ms. Peck's association with Highlands Little Theatre, her name has appeared in nine programs, thirty-nine HLT Newsletters and one local news article, for a total of forty-seven Citations; she has served on innumerable committees and is the possessor of one Board Service Zenon.
