Ruby Griffith Award goes to The Glass Menagerie

Ruby Grifith 2010 Award Winner: Outstanding Achievement in a Play, First Runner Up

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO BCT's WINNING PRODUCTION - The Glass Menagerie

The British Players presented their 2009-2010 Ruby Griffith Award For Outstanding Achievement in a Play - First Runner-Up to Bowie Community Theatre for "The Glass Menagerie". BCT tied with Silver Spring Stage's production of "The Goat Or Who is Sylvia" for this First Runner-Up award. Both plays were directed by Craig Allen Mummey.

I wanted to take this opportunity to personally congratulate and offer heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed in any way to this outstanding production. There are too many people to list individually, but I'm sending this email to everyone who is listed in our program. If you know of anyone who is missing who participated in any way, please pass along BCT's thanks and appreciation. This was truly a masterpiece in theatrical excellence, and I feel strongly that it was one of BCT's finest productions in many years.

The award will be on display in the lobby of the Bowie Playhouse, and it will be mentioned in our programs for the current and upcoming season.

This is truly an honor and I feel extremely proud to have been associated with such a marvelous production. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

With sincere gratitude,

Joanne Bauer, Producer
