Vicksburg Theatre Guild's Other Activities

Congratulations to Rebecca Nelson Scott, recipient of the 2008-2009 Marvin & Betty Reuben Scholarship at USM. The “Marvin Reuben Hub City Award” provides aid to an outstanding student majoring in broadcasting in the USM School of Mass Communication and Journalism. It is the largest scholarship they awarded this year. Rebecca is a member of the VTG Board of Directors, and has appeared in main stage, Gold in the Hills, and Fairy Tale Theatre.

We held a ceremony the opening night of Southern Discomfort to recognize Buddy Hallberg with the 2008 VTG Lifetime Achievement Award. Buddy has been acting onstage, here and elsewhere, since 1957 and is admired by generations of audiences and fellow actors. The Vicksburg Post had a nice article on March 16.

Mark Twain returned to Vicksburg on May 17th and 18th, 2004
Vicksburg native Richard R. Salassi in A Visit with Mark Twain!

Mark Twain continues to live in the hearts and minds of generations who first encountered the famous American author and humorist in grade school when they read about the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. Richard R. Salassi brings him to life again in his one-man show.

On 23 July 2003, Lauren Auttonberry arranged for an interview on 23 July at Channel 18, the Jackson public access cable channel, to discuss our activities such as Gold in the Hills, main stage, Fairy Tale Theatre, and the building fund grant. Click here for photos.

We held auditions on 25 & 28 April 2003 for Les Misérables: School Edition, but we determined that we were unable to cast this ambitious play. The summer months are busy for many people, and we were simply unable to recruit the number of students necessary to put on this demanding show. We wanted to do the show justice, or not do it at all. Unfortunately, the latter turned out to be the case. We thank everybody who tried out. We hope to see you at auditions for one of our future musicals!

Congratulations to VTG Board member Meggie Welch,
St Al's Class of 2003 Valedictorian.
