Wayne Lambright - A fine mix of technical and artistic talents By: Roy Riedy |
Wayne Lambright's name was connected with HLT in its July, 2000, Newsletter that noted that he would be playing the part of Mr. Brownlow in the upcoming production of Oliver! to be presented the next month by Director Melanie Boulay.
Wayne is a state-certified residential real estate appraiser working for the Polk County Property Appraiser as Land Analyst/Sales verification Specialist. He is married to Vealda Lambright who is also a member of Highlands Little Theatre as are his three sons, Jonathan, Ryan, and Jeremiah who have all participated in productions of the Children's Academy of Theater (CAT) and worked behind the scenes and on the stage of the Lakeside Playhouse.
Mr. Lambright's second stage appearance was in April, 2001, in Jim McCollum's musical Best Little Whorehouse in Texas in which he played Chip Brewster and was also a member of the chorus. Wayne received a nomination at the Zenon Awards the following October for his work in producing the music for the McCollum show. His third role was in August when he appeared in Tammie Pollard's venturous West Side Story as Lt. Shrank.
Wayne got even busier in the Twenty-eighth Season. In November, 2001, he worked on the set construction of Frank Oberhausen's revival of Guys and Dolls; in January he and his wife, Vealda, did the scripted music recording for Pete Pollard's rural drama, Foxfire; in March he played Simon, one of Joseph's many brothers, in Joe Willis' extravaganza Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, and worked countless hours as Music Coordinator with his wife Vealda Lambright, who shared that job.
In August, 2002, Wayne was responsible for the videography of Melanie Boulay's smash musical hit Peter Pan, and in October his hard work yielded Wayne his first Zenon and a second one for his wife Vealda Lambright at the 17th Annual Zenon Awards Ceremonies".
Mr. Lambright was involved with four of the five plays presented in the Twenty-ninth Season at Highlands Little Theatre. He and Phil Attinger were the Sound Technicians for Pete Pollard's Steel Magnolias in January, 2003.
He was the Videographer for Kathy MacNeill and Frank Oberhausen's production of Brigadoon in March, and also, with his son Jonathan, for Allen Branch's production of The Hound of the Baskervilles in June. In August, Wayne appeared on stage as Bellomy, one of the fathers in Sue McCollum's revival of the musical The Fantastics.
In October, at The 18th Annual Zenon Awards, Mr. Lambright was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his part as Bellomy in The Fantastics. He won his second Zenon, with his son, Jonathan, for their work as videographers for the 18th Season. Mr. Lambright's contributions to HLT are truly a modern mix of the artistic and technical, another undeniable sign of things to come.
During the 30th Season Wayne was the Videographer for Melanie Boulay's Off- Broadway revue, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and played the role of Coupeau in Jennifer Westergom's dressy Scarlet Pimpernel. He participated in the Fourth of July Patriotic Review and played Pontius Pilate in Tammie Pollard's outstanding presentation of Jesus Christ, Superstar and also worked on the musical coordination of that show and The Scarlet Pimpernel which earned him a third Zenon at the 19th Annual Zenon Awards. HLT is indeed favored with a powerful resource in the gifted and talented Mr. Lambright.
In the 31st Season Wayne worked on Frank Oberhausen's November, 2004, production of The Music Man as a member of the chorus and as the show's video editor. In January, 2005, he played the Allergist, Dr. V. Ira Taub, in Peter Pollard's presentation of Charles Busch's The Tale of the Allergist's Wife. Wayne was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role at the 20th Zenons for his portrayal of the wisdom seeking doctor. He was also nominated for a Production/Technical Discretionary Zenon at that Zenon Ceremony for his Musical Orchestration and Recording of Melanie Boulay and Jennifer Westergom's record breaking production of Cabaret #2.
The 32nd Season found Wayne working as Musical Director, Videographer, and Musical Production for Mike McMillian's Hoodwinked; Joe Willis' Seven Brides for Seven Brothers; Mac Byron's Drop Dead; and Tammie Pollard's Zenon winning Grease. His labors in these fields nominated him for a Production/Technical Zenon which he won at the 21st Zenon Awards in October, 2006, making him one of the ten HLT members who now posess four Zenons, four Zenons that represent untold hours of technical and artistic labors which have given our theatrical endevors their professional sheen. Thank you Wayne for sharing your many gifts with a grateful Highlands Little Theatre.
