Yep, you read that right! Our own McKinley Harper won the Bradley Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role! She will now move on to the Jimmy Awards in New York City this June. To say we are proud is an understatement.
Congratulations to ALL our GRC nominees (Addison, Gillian, and everyone a part of Technical Ex*****on) and everyone involved in putting on such a great production of Urinetown. It was such a fun, rewarding experience, and we can't wait to make great art with you next year.
Finally, congratulations to every nominee and production across the Kentuckiana region. It's an honor to be in your company, and your work inspires us.
