Brandon Clark was presented with this year’s Mary Ellen Morgan Award in recognition of his service to CP.

Brandon has participated in nearly every aspect of the organization. CP audiences may be most familiar with him from his multiple roles on stage including “Les Miserables,” “The Ladies Man,” “James and the Giant Peach,” and “Ripcord.” He has been extremely active behind the scenes including as a stage manager, lighting coordinator, and director (the young adult production of “First Date” and the regular season show “In-laws, Outlaws and Other People (Who Should be Shot)”).

He was vital in the most recent major redesign of our website, and helping to navigate launching our podcast. In July he completed serving six years on the Board of Directors. The award was presented following the opening night performance of “Silent Sky” (another show he was stage managing).

Brandon is the youngest recipient of this award, we thank and appreciate all his dedication to CP!

This award was established in 1985 in honor of Mary Ellen Morgan, a founder and invaluable member of Community Players, Inc. The award is presented annually in recognition of outstanding service in the promotion of theatre and the fine arts in the city of Beatrice and the area of Southeast Nebraska.
