On Christmas morning, John Moore, former Theater Critic at the Denver Post, named the winners for the 2011 Ovation Awards. The Arvada Center was honored with 5 awards including Best Musical and Best Director of a Musical – prestigious recognition in a field representing 172 productions by 69 theater companies that were staged over the last 12 months!
The 11th annual Ovation Awards are determined by Denver Post staff, but readers again were asked to vote for additional “readers’ choice” designees by taking our online survey, which accepted only one ballot per IP address. A total of 1,760 unique voters responded. <source: http://www.denverpost.com/theater/ci_19604222>
Arvada Center 2011 Ovation Awards:
Best Production of a Musical – Hairspray
Best Direction of a Musical – Rod A. Lansberry, Ragtime
Best Costumes – Mondo Guerra, Hairspray
Special Recognition:
Rob Reynolds, maker of the Model-T used in the Arvada Center’s Ragtime
Brian Mallgrave, ongoing achievement in scenic design
Other awards were given to actors, designers and theater companies with close ties to the Arvada Center including John Arp and Megan Van De Hey (Best Season for an Actor and Actress respectively) and Best Season for a Director, Christy Montour-Larson. One of our partners, Creede Repertory Theatre, received several nods and their executive director Maurice LaMee was named Theater Person of the Year – an honor that came (in part) for the work Creede Rep is doing at the Arvada Center.
Congratulations to our fine actors, actresses, and production staff behind the scenes that make Colorado Theater so spectacular!

Book and Lyrics by Timothy A. McDonald
Ordinary kid, Stanley Lambchop is asleep in his bed one night when a bulletin board falls on him. The next morning he wakes up flat. At first, being flat is not so bad. He can slide under locked doors. His friends fly him like a kite. Stanley is the best in his class at hide-and-seek. If he has to be flat, he is going to make the best of it. Stanley decides to put himself in a big envelope and travel the world as a human letter. The musical follows his adventures as he strives to become three dimensional again.
Recommended for grades: Pre K-5, ages 4 and up

This holiday production—with songs including Strike Up the Band, I’ll Be Seeing You, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas will set you in the mood for the Holidays. |
