​Friends Annual Volunteer Recognition Event

Created in 1988 by the Friends founder Ellen Bailey, the Volunteer Recognition Luncheon has become an annual tradition. More than 130   volunteers and their guests attend this event. This is a wonderful opportunity to honor our volunteers and award them with a token of appreciation.  The Playhouse staff presents the awards  to the recipients.

Another tradition at the Volunteer Recognition is a Centerpiece Contest.  Volunteers create centerpieces based on a play previously produced at The Playhouse. The guests receive a list of the plays that could be depicted and guess names of the plays.  Those, who have guessed the most centerpieces correctly, are awarded a prize. Best centerpiece designers receive prices as well. ​
