This fun-filled annual event (which bears a smidgen of resemblance to the Oscar or the Tony award programs) is to give recognition and thanks to all the hard-working actors, directors and crews and supporters of the season's productions. The evening started with door prize tickets given to each guest as they made their way into the theater to feast on a scrumptious buffet. Nancy McCormick was in charge of awarding the door prizes that she collected from local merchants. President Dottie Hughes then thanked the 2002-03 executive board members and the committee chairpersons were recognized. Little Theatre life member Bert Landerville swore in the newly elected executive board for the 2002-2003 season. They are President Dottie Hughes, Vice President Don Campbell, Secretary Estie Keyes, Treasurer Camille Dickinson, and Board Members, Marge Orlich, Irene Spatz and Rose Dingas. David and Karin Jenkins, resplendent in formal attire, were co-hosts for the evening's festivities with son, Ryan Jenkins, as the "Trophy Boy," who had to share the limelight this year with the family dog, Maui Jenkins, who won the Golden Biscuit Award for his role in Uncle Harry. Once again Ryan tried to steal the show as he presented the Hammy trophies to the winners. The Hammy show was an extravaganza of dance numbers and skits starting with musical tributes to each production. Directors of the season's productions were honored and asked to say a few words about their show. They are Kendra Legendre for Surprise!, Lawrence Benjamin for Beau Jest, Janie Hale for House on the Cliff, Frances Johnson for Lilies of the Field, Susan Wagner for Uncle Harry; Dottie Hughes for Whose Wives Are They Anyway, Mary Lou Keenan for Nutcrackers, and Nancy McCormick for Greetings.
