Hey, I Saw That! (2008-2009 Drammy Awards)


The Drammy Awards are put on annually by the Portland Civic Theatre Guild. They recognize certain shows and individuals for their outstanding work in Portland theatre over the past year. This year some shows that I saw and wrote about here on Heather Goes to the Theatre were recognized. Two of the 'Actor in a Lead Role' awards went to Bill Geisslinger and Denis Arndt for their work in Artists Repertory Theatre's (ART) The Seafarer, and one of the 'Actress in a Lead Role' went to Sharonlee Mclean (one of my favorite local actors) for her role in CoHo Productions' The Receptionist. One of the 'Lighting Design' awards went to Daniel Ordower for Portland Center Stage's (PCS) How To Disappear Completely and Never Be Found. A 'Music Direction' award went to Rick Lewis for PCS's production of Guys and Dolls. PCS took home both scenic design awards for Chris Rousseau's How to Dissapear Completely and Never Be Found and Nancy Keystone's Apollo. Jen Raynack also recieved the 'Sound Design' award for How to Dissapear Completely and Never Be Found, and Ebbe Roe Smith took home one of the 'Actor in a Supporting Role' awards for his work in the same play. A PCS production was also recognized in the 'Actress in a Supporting Role' awards as one was given to Lisa Renee Pitts for her work in Doubt. Finally, congradulations to Megan Murphy, Cameron McFee and Mead Hunter who recieved PATA spotlight awards.
