On May 7, the Warren Central Theatre Arts Department held their annual Thommies awards.
While the theatre department always had awards for their student actors and actresses, the awards were changed to the “Thommies” after Thom Feit, the longtime Warren Central theatre director who retired in the 90’s.
“I think it is vital for us to have events like the Thommie Awards in order to recognize student success and to celebrate all of the incredible performances every year,” theatre director Jeffrey Dalstrom said. “One of my favorite things to hear from students every year is ‘I can't believe I won a Thommie! I didn't think I could win one.’ It's important for students to be recognized for their successes because sometimes they don't realize how amazing they truly are until their community of artists recognizes their talent.”
