O-Zone Meeting hostd by A.C.T.

Asparagus Theatre was also pleased to host the AGM meeting and want to express our pleasure in all those who attended. It was a resounding success and the lunch provided was greatly enjoyed. The set design class with Eugene Leveque was attended by 30+ and we all learned a huge amount. The power point presentation with Eugene's beautiful set models was clear, concise, and well thought out. He was approached after, with the proposal that a club have him give "part 2 - hands on" class. How about it everyone?. This writer cannot more strongly recommend that we keep on training new members and upgrading existing members in the many, many areas for creativity in community theatre.

Asparagus Community Theatre recognized with award

by Tyler Olsen, Morning Star Staff, Dec 15 2006

Two dozen people crowded into Armstrong council chambers Monday, but they weren't there to lynch the mayor or protest a bylaw.

Instead, the public gallery, typically barren, was packed for the announcement that the city had bestowed the City of Armstrong Recognition of Excellence Award on the Asparagus Community Theatre. "This award is our public way and tangible way of expressing your community's gratitude," said a jovial Mayor Jerry Oglow. He also singled out the theatre's impact on youth in the community.

"The Asparagus Community Theatre has built a well-known reputation for engaging the youth in theatre, for showcasing local and often hidden talent and for building an asset base of technical expertise."

"The deciding factor was that you have been encouraging the City of Armstrong to have a purposeful look at art and culture in the vibrant community that we are." Oglow then presented theatre president Dai Scott with a large plaque and individual members with custom pins made specially for recognition award winners. Scott said the volunteers were delighted to receive the unexpected award.

"It came out of the blue...They were excited. They thought it was really, really great."

"This is something the whole club can feel proud about," said Scott, adding the award is unique because it pays tribute to every single volunteer at the theatre.
