Meet our Volunteers: Actors Choice Award Winners
At the end of each CTG production, the CTG Board surveys the actors and crew members on what worked best over the course of the show and what could be improved. Each survey also includes a question on which actor the respondents most enjoyed working with throughout the production.
Please join CTG in congratulating our Actors Choice Award recipients from the 2007-2008 season!
