Its nice to see people get recognized in a very tight community like Chicago Theater. The Apple Tree Theater is know for some great work. She definitely deserves this award. The Jeff Committee gives out one award for similar recognition every year.

Its amusing that her name is Boevers. For half a second I thought David had founded Apple Tree…

Thats so great! Congratulation to her! A little disappointed the other theater Boevers didn't get included, but I am sure she is equally as proud! Yay! This is exciting!!
