n the sports world, the MVP is the one who
makes the game shine. The most valuable
player is announced with fanfare as the
player shows up when it matters most,
uplifting the team during hard times and
rallying them to victory. In Central Georgia's
theatre scene, the same spirit is alive and well.
Some could call community theatre a team
sport, with players who cheerfully volunteer
to build backdrops one afternoon, take center
stage for a showstopping number another
evening, and work in the box office the next
weekend. It's all for the love of the game. The
history of the robust thespian community here
runs deep, with roots stretching back nearly a
century ago.
Behind every curtain call is someone whose
dedication and love for the craft keeps "the
show must go on" mantra moving. So, we
asked each of these area theatres to give their
people their flowers, to honor the folks who may
not always get the spotlight (because they're
pointing it). So Central Georgia stages, if you
could pick one person, who's your MVP?
