South Bay Musical Theatre was proud to have performers and staff recognized at the recent Theatre Bay Area awards ceremony, held at Herbst Memorial Theater in San Francisco on Monday, Nov. 5, 2018. Members of SBMT’s Board of Directors as well as cast and staff from our nominated productions, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Bridges of Madison County, joined to “whoop” for the nominees and cheer on other Bay Area theatre organizations.
We’d like congratulate all of our South Bay friends who were honored. A special shout-out to Lee Ann Payne for winning Outstanding Direction of a Play, for her direction of The Laramie Project at Palo Alto Players. Lee Ann will be directing Thoroughly Modern Millie for SBMT in the spring! Award finalist Diane Milowicki, who just directed Mame, is serving as Vocal Director for our winter production of Big River.
