OSWEGO, NY – The maiden voyage of the Titanic may not have been a success, however the Oswego Players production regarding the aftermath of that tragic voyage was a rousing success.
“The Last Lifeboat” explored the life of J. Bruce Ismay, owner of the White Star Line, and the effect the sinking of the Titanic had on his life.
The production received a number of accolades from adjudicators of the Theatre Association of NYS (TANYS).
Paul Nelson, vice president of Adjudication Services for TANYS announced that the awards will be presented at the Annual TANYS Festival in November.
Formed in 1987 when the New York State Theatre Festival Association (NYSTFA) merged with the New York State Community Theatre Association (NYSCTA), the mission of TANYS is to foster the contribution of theatre to the lives of the citizens of New York State, promote high standards of theatre practice through education and example, and encourage exchanges of information and knowledge through people-to-people and theatre-to-theatre interactions.
“We thrilled that our members were honored with these prestigious awards from TANYS,” said Oswego Players President Norman Berlin. “It is very rewarding to know that the hard work and dedication that goes into our productions is appreciated. I also extend a sincere thank you to our community which has supported the Oswego Players for the past 85 years and everyone that took the time to attend “The Last Lifeboat.”
