ALT’s First Annual “Vivian Awards” were a Big Success!
Vivian Vance
Last night was truly fantastic! Albuquerque Little Theatre hosted our first annual Vivian Awards, named in honor of Vivian Vance of “I Love Lucy”, who got her start at ALT in 1930. It was a fantastic celebration of all of our volunteers, from ushers to box office assistants to backstage crew to onstage performers! One special highlight was a Lifetime Achievement Award presented to Lou Ann Graham, Vivian’s baby sister who is now in her 80’s (seen in the photo). Lou Ann told the crowd, “She (Vivian) is with us”, and that her sister would be so proud of what ALT has become. Huge congrats to all who took home a “Vivian”, and to all of our incredible volunteers! We love you!!
