Now that awards season is officially over, I thought I’d post something about our own little awards ceremony held during our recent production of Ghost Sonata. It was whimsical and fun - each person in cast & crew won in crazy categories. We only had one tiny statuette that was passed from winner to winner. The highlight was first-timer Janeia’s emotional speech that moved us all. 🎭💗😭🏆🎭💓😭🏆 . . . . Even I won! 😱🤭☺️When Director Brian came up with the idea, I thought it was stupid. I was wrong! 🏵 I think we should name the little guy “Gus” for August Strindberg. The Gus Awards! 😜 #awards #awardsseason #GhostSonata #Detroit #theatre #YoungFenix (at Detroit, Michigan)
