Maggie McGuinness (Stagehand) he primary reason for Maggie’s nomination was her efforts to learn the soundboard during the run of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. This was a task that Maggie sought out herself and she has exhibited great initiative, dedication, and willingness to learn throughout her pursuit of this skill. She has put in numerous hours outside of her normal schedule to cement an understanding of the soundboard, running the show by herself repeatedly so that she became capable of running sound for a live performance. Becoming the second person capable of running sound frees Brian to pursue other sound/tech endeavors for The Fireside, gives us a safety net should Brian ever be absent, showcases a dedication to The Fireside and her craft, and serves as an inspiration to other technical crew members. Her efforts during this show will have a lasting, positive impact on future productions. In addition, Maggie routinely goes above and beyond for her work at every turn with genuine passion for this industry. More specifically for this, her home theatre. Her skill and versatility backstage has always been an asset to our company. Many times she has jumped in mid-show to fill the shoes of fellow crew members who became ill. Outside of performances, her presence is magnetic, making sure everyone around her feels welcome and heard in their shared environment, truly embodying The Fireside Philosophy to actors, crew, and patrons alike.

Conner Thipphayoth (Server) Conner is consistently impressive with his dedication and his rapport with those around him. He continues to excel in the dining room by giving great service and providing a memorable experience for our guests. Numerous times I’ve noticed his guests smiling and laughing whenever he comes to help them. Recently, a manager was pulled aside by one of his tables and they absolutely raved about his service that evening. Conner had gone out of his way to hunt down a drink from our beverage page from two years ago so that the guest got the drink that they wanted. All this during one of our infamously busy Saturday evening dining services. He shows great pride in his work, and it shows. Conner has shown that he is more than deserving of the Associate of the Show award.
