SVS appreciates all its volunteers and artists!
Every year, we hold a special Volunteers and Artists Appreciation gala, bringing together everyone who made that season possible. We feed them (of course), and highlight a few of that year’s contributors:
– Crown Jewel: Exceptional recognition (given only some years)
– Golden Gavel: Board member of the year
– Golden Ivy: Volunteer of the year
– “Sparky” Award:
Someone who particularly helped out in a pinch
– Bard in Action: Special recognition of artists, technicians, or staff.
