Freddy winner Arlene Janzen
The Freddy Award was first presented at the end of the 2011-2012 season in honour of retiring board member Fred Gallagher. Fred's years of service and tireless efforts as treasurer, set builder, and office manager typify the best of RLT. It is fitting that this award is bestowed on those unsung heroes who are "the heart of RLT."
This year we award 2020-2021 Freddy to Arlene Janzen. Arlene, like Fred, has spent years of dedicated service to the theatre in a number of capacities. From walking in parades and directing traffic for office cleanups, to her vital duties keeping the financial records of our organization straight and in order. Arlene Janzen is always there. She is tireless in her efforts to find and acquire grants and funding for the theatre, allowing us all to be able to play and be creative and enjoy the craft of theatre. Arlene is a positive voice of encouragement in all endeavours and we can’t think of anyone else who fits the description “Heart of RLT” more. Congratulations Arlene.

Honourary Life Memberships are bestowed on long-time RLT supporters for consistent contributions to the organization.
The most recent recipient of this honour is John Chaput (2019-2020) whose contributions to RLT have been invaluable.
"It is at the prerogative of the board every season to award a Lifetime Membership. Almost every year I've been on the board, I am shocked at the list of potential awardees that do not have life membership. Particularly this one. I have worked with this individual numerous times and they always bring a professionalism and knowledge that only comes with experience and dedication to theatre. They have served in numerous capacities in their long 35-year tenure with RLT including actor, director, stage manager, backstage and even writer. I am privileged to have worked with this person on many shows, including the TSI award winning one act we took to Kamsack in 2011. I am honored to call them my friend and I can't think of anyone more deserving of Lifetime Membership than John Chaput."
