The Vanetia Warner Award

The Vanetia Warner Memorial Award is awarded by the SVTC's board of directors to a current youth member each year. The recipient must consistently demonstrate dedication and enthusiasm for theatre arts.

The recipient for 2024 is Jacob Bellemore, who's been a truly faithful presence on the stage crew for a great many of our shows. He's also made the occasional appearance onstage, including our productions of Shrek the Musical JR. and The Sound of Music. We congratulate Jacob and we look forward to working with him again and again in the future.
