Michael G. Flanagan Ghost Light Award
Recipient: Mackenzie Jensen
The Michael G. Flanagan Ghost Light Award was established in 2005 when Dr. Michael Flanagan retired as professor of theatre arts. The ghost light is the light in the theatre which burns anytime the theatre is unoccupied. Its light serves anyone who enters the theatre. It gives light, but never has light cast upon it. The recipient of the Ghost Light Award is a theatre major who has worked hard and effectively, though without significant recognition. The recipient understands the importance of all aspects of theatre production, and has sought out opportunities to understand theory and perfect practice in a significant variety of assigned tasks.
Gerald Sullivan Award – Outstanding Senior Theatre Major
Recipient: Ana Paula Saldeñas Cisneros
Gerry Sullivan was the director of the Theatre at Saint Mary’s College from 1959 – 1967. If it were not for him, there would not be a Theatre Department today. His productions for Theatre Saint Mary’s clearly established the fact that great theatre could be done in the third floor theatre of St. Mary’s Hall (currently the Common Room). This room provided Gerry with the opportunity to mount many of the spectacular productions which were his trademark, including a functional showboat which moved on and off stage. Those who create theatre in state of the art spaces, such as our Page Theatre, must always remember from where we have come. This award, currently hanging in the Common Room, warmly recalls the continuing contribution of Gerald E. Sullivan by honoring those who contribute so much today. The recipient of the Outstanding Senior Theatre Major is someone who has achieved both academic and artistic excellence and has shown leadership abilities and dedication to the Department of Theatre and Dance and to our community.
