Westlake resident honored for theater service

The Great Lakes Theater Festival’s Women’s Committee has honored Bernice Bolek as the 2009 Dorothy Teare Award winner. This award is for extraordinary service to the theater. Bernice, a Westlake resident, has served as co-chair, on many boards including the Board of Managers and does any job necessary to help GLTF.

She is always available to feed the cast, help with mailings, help with fundraising and donates regularly.

In addition, you may recognize Bernice from her involvement in Clague Playhouse. She has acted, directed, produced and consulted in their productions since 1997.

Whether in front of the curtain or behind the scenes, you can truly say that Bernice loves live theater and is willing to do all she can to promote it. Bernice feels “the show must go on” and does all she can to make it so. Congratulations, Bernice!

Joanne Bobey is the Publicity Chairperson for the Women’s Committee of the GLTF.
