“It was a wonderful cast and wonderful production,” said Melissa Kaplan, performing arts producer for LCC. “It shows that a piece like this has incredible longevity, that it can be adapted time and time again.”
Michigan State University Department of Theatre took home three awards for the elaborate set design, props and costumes of “Stage Door.” Peppermint Creek Theatre Co.’s “Telling Lansing,” based on the stories of local military veterans, earned five Pulsar awards, including Best Play and Best Ensemble for the play’s cast of veterans. Max Rayneard, who compiled the stories and shaped them into the play, won the Pulsar for Best Original Script.
“For Max to take parts of our lives and express our love of country and what we go through, everything that goes along with military service, that was amazing,” said Theresa Boussom, a cast member in the play. “It was comforting, reassuring — it was therapeutic for all of us.”
