Freddy winner Garett Harnish
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."
The most recent recipient of the Freddy Award for the 2019-2020 season is someone you've probably never seen. But guaranteed that if you've been on stage in the last few seasons, they've seen you. Through a few layers of glass. Garett Harnish has been taking production photos for us for about 3 seasons now. Garett takes HUNDREDS of stills for Regina Little Theatre to use for publicity, archives, and more. And he doesn't charge us a cent for his work. He truly embodies the selfless volunteerism that this award is all about.

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.
