Allison Lozar (Stagehand) – During the run of A CHRISTMAS STORY, Allison went above and beyond her normal backstage responsibilities. She willingly took over some tasks that the Assistant Stage Manager typically does but was unable to do due to an injury. Allison is such a valuable team member of our theatre department that most people never see! She is consistently a hard worker backstage from the beginning of the rehearsal process all the way through closing day, even when overlapping rehearsals for the next show while still working on the current show at the same time. Allison has been another set of eyes, ears, and hands for our Assistant Stage Manager throughout the run of all the shows since she joined our crew. Allison is very detail oriented, which is important when setting props on scenery pieces during the shows’ performances – you don’t want to know how many times she would preset and remove full plate and silverware settings on different tables during A CHRISTMAS STORY!! She is a very valuable stage crew member that most audience members don’t even know exist and she is very worthy of this recognition.

Chase Kenney (Box Office) –During the run of A CHRISTMAS STORY, Chase was a huge asset to the Box Office. She took on a large roll within group sales working on contracts, telemarketing, booking new groups, and update existing groups. While doing all of this, she was also quick to assist customers on the phone and up at the window whenever needed. Not letting the phones distract her from group sales, she has still helped us reach our group sales goals. Chase also has helped by working additional hours to cover shifts for her fellow co-workers as illness made its rounds throughout the Box Office.
