Webster City Community Theatre (WCCT) held its annual meeting on Sunday, August 24, celebrating the accomplishments of the past season and previewing the exciting year ahead.
The event included a dinner and a review of the four productions staged over the previous year: Steel Magnolias, Disney’s Newsies Jr., Of Men and Cars, and Little Shop of Horrors.
Directors Stephanie Hill, Lindsay Henderson, Loween Getter, and Anne Blankenship recognized the efforts of dedicated volunteers by presenting Willing Worker Awards to KeVon Edwards, Karina Murray, Kevin Sharp, and Rachel Derrig.
In addition, Loween Getter presented the Friends of WCCT Award to Tony Nelson and Wildcat Distilling Co. The business hosted two successful murder mystery events featuring WCCT performers and generously donated a portion of the proceeds to support the theatre’s summer children’s program.
Al Yungclas received the President’s Award in recognition of his longstanding service and expertise as a master set builder.
