The Oswego Players have found great success with their murder mysteries in the past and “Night Must Fall” is no exception. The Players third production of “Night Must Fall” is being given five awards by TANYS.
This taut psychological thriller, first presented in 1935, has terrified and thrilled Broadway London and Oswego audiences for decades, and has been adapted to film three times.
The production received a number of accolades from adjudicators of the Theater Association of NYS (TANYS).
- Outstanding Achievement in Acting to Allison Vanouse for the portrayal of Olivia Grayne
- Excellence in Direction to Gina Mazzoli
- Excellence in Ensemble Performance to the Cast
- Excellence in Acting to Josh Mumm for the portrayal of Dan
- Meritorious Achievement in Lighting Design to Justin Grower
Paul Nelson, vice president of Adjudication Services for TANYS announced that the awards will be presented at the Annual TANYS Festival in November.
Formed in 1987, when the New York State Theatre Festival Association (NYSTFA) merged with the New York State Community Theatre Association (NYSCTA), the mission of TANYS is to foster the contribution of theatre to the lives of the citizens of New York State, promote high standards of theatre practice through education and example, and encourage exchanges of information and knowledge through people-to-people and theatre-to-theatre interactions.
“We thrilled that our Fall production was honored with these prestigious awards from TANYS,” said Oswego Players President Norman Berlin. “It is extremely rewarding to know that the hard work, passion, and dedication that goes into our productions is appreciated. I also extend a sincere thank you to our community which has supported the Oswego Players for the past 85 years and everyone that took the time to attend “Night Must Fall.”
