I need you to talk to me: What do you want from TANYS? No, we cannot give you money, sorry. We work with a bare bones budget just as most of you do. What can we do that will help you? One outreach started and maintained by the TANYS Treasurer Cindy Nagle are periodic e-mail blasts. If you wish to be included in them you can contact the TANYS office Info@ tanys.org and request to be added. Are the Festival and Adjudications enough? The board has discussed regional workshops- good idea? OK, who will host them- have you an organization and a site? Do you ever go to the TANYS website? Anything more there you would like to see? The Board and I cannot help you if you if you don’t tell us what you want and need. And speaking of the Board of Trustees- here is another way you can help. We on the Board have a limited circle of interested, competent and energetic people from which to solicit potential Board Members. We only meet in person 3-4 times a year including Festival. Think about it. We could use your help! You could be important in making TANYS a stronger and more viable organization. In closing let me repeat- talk to me! If we don’t know you are interested we can’t invite you to join our merry band. Give me your feedback- the good, the bad AND the ugly. You can contact me at: framer@cayuga-cc.edu I want to hear from you. Bob Frame Open Letter To The Members Of TANYS www.tanys.org Callboard - Volume XVIII • Issue 2 • Fall 2021 Page12 TANYS’ Bob Frame Receives AACT Recognition TANYS congratulates Bob Frame upon receiving the following national recognition: Selected as an AACT Fellow. Quoting the AACT Spotlight dated July/August 2021: “The designation “AACT Fellow” is bestowed upon members of AACT who, over a period of years, have contributed significantly to both the idea and ideal of community theatre, and to the work of AACT. Nomination and election to this select group is the responsibility of the current Fellows membership.” Secondly, adjudicators Ann Emo and William Wallace gave the following award copied from the AACT Web site. AACT National Design Award For Lighting: Robert Frame (Auburn Public Theatre, Auburn NY) for Betrayal. Adjudicators: "The concept statement clearly defines the design approach and intent and the production photos document the accomplishment of that intent. Supporting documentation is very complete. Lighting for shadow is difficult to do and this work preserves visibility while creating mood." If interested, a summary of all designs can be viewed on the AACT web site. Bob, TANYS is proud to have you on our team! Black Orchid Theatre Group Confetti Stage
