Q: What award did you earn and how?

A: It’s the Pride of the Tribe award. I guess it’s kind of like MVP in a way.Throughout the years in the company I just tried to do as many things as possible. I’ve been an actor, technician and director.

Q: What was your initial reaction when you received it?

A: I was extremely surprised. I wasn’t actually sure who they were describing until the end when [Mrs. Pamela Neth, English], spoke of a girl who came to strike in a sundress.

Q: How did it feel to be honored for all of the time and commitment you put into theater?

A: It felt really good to see that my work was noticed and appreciated, but now I wish that my years with the company didn’t have to end.

Q: Is there a tradition you want to leave with the theater company?

A: [I started] the lipstick techie girl tradition. I passed [it] down. [The person I passed it to] will pass on to a junior next year.
