from MartinArts Magazine Fall 2021 | Winter 2022

The show must go on… a truism of showbiz that holds true for our long-running awards event. The mARTies will be awarded on Tuesday, November 2nd to a crowd of arts patrons at the Lyric Theatre during the MartinArts Awards.

“Following masking protocols established by the Theatre, we are happy to bring this celebratory evening back to the theatre,” stated co-chair Lisa Renee Ludlum. Fellow co-chair, Marney McKee added “Our roster of nominees and award recipients deserve an evening dedicated to the amazing talent they bring to our community.” The evening’s festivities include an amazing opening number featuring alumni (former recipients) and nominees that rejoices in the individuality so prevalent in a community of creative people. The dedicated committee stayed with this event throughout the pandemic to wait until the time was right. Kudos to co-chairs Marney McKee and Lisa Renee Ludlum, Kristal Wion-Eckhardt, Faith Paul, Sharon Hagin, Heidi Condon, Dr. Anita Caswell, and Jeff Younglove.

Tickets ($37/adult and $22/student) are available via the Lyric Theatre’s website or box office up through the evening of the show. Proceeds from the evening support the scholarships offered to our student award recipients and community outreach programs.
