3 Awards for Emerson Umbrella's Theater Group!

Hearty congratulations to The Producers cast and crew and to the Emerson Umbrella!  Earlier this week, they won three DASH (Distinguished Achievement and Special Honors) awards from the Eastern Massachusetts Association of Community Theaters (EMACT).  They were:

• Best Supporting Actor in a Musical (Kevin Shancady)
• Best Sound Design in a Musical (Jimi Two Feathers)
• Best Ensemble of a Musical (the cast of The Producers).

This is not just a wonderful achievement on the face of it, but an even greater one when we reflect about just how new this group is.  (List of the nine nominees up for this award is here.)
