Cantey Awards Night 2020 – Performance, Volunteer and Youth Awards
Last night, we held our annual Cantey Awards, presented live online. Watch the replay of the livestream on YouTube or our Facebook page.
For this year’s awards, it was decided that since we were not able to complete the full 2019-20 season, we would not give out the usual set of Cantey Awards. Instead, this year, the awards committee and staff selected actors to receive Outstanding Performance Awards to recognize their skills and efforts.
Congratulations on the winners of the 2019-2020 Outstanding Performance Awards:
