Blowing Rock Stage Company receives Professional Theatre Award
The 2008 NCTC George A. Parides Professional Theatre Award will be presented to Blowing Rock Stage Company!
Each year, the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Theatre Conference seeks nominations from the membership for the NCTC Excellence Awards. Upon a vote of the Board of Directors and Past Presidents, the awards are presented to companies, schools, and individuals that have exhibited leadership roles in their community, as well as artistic, professional, or educational excellence.
The George A. Parides Professional Theatre Award is named in honor of a former director of the Theatre Arts Section of the North Carolina Arts Council. During Parides' tenure, the number of state-funded professional theatres grew from 18 to more than three dozen. Many credit Parides with the success of the many new and evolving professional companies in North Carolina.
NCTC Executive Director Angie Hays says, "Blowing Rock Stage Company continuously demonstrates excellence through performance and community outreach. It is an honor to work with General Manager Robert Miller, Jr., who serves as Treasurer of the NCTC Board of Directors, and an even bigger honor to be able to recognize Blowing Rock Stage with the 2008 NCTC George A. Parides Professional Theatre Award."
