"South Pacific" Donation  Made to

             National Multiple Sclerosis Society

"South Pacific" was not only a great artistic success but a financial one as well. As a result, The Villages Musical Theater was able to present a very generous donation of

$10,000 to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The donation will be used to fund research into cures and treatments for this disease.

ANNUAL MEETING NOVEMBER 2018

             VMT Presents First Spirit Award

                          to Karen Martin

   The Villages Musical Theater presented our first ever "Spirit Award" to Karen Martin on June 10 during a special presentation at the Bridgeport Recreation Center.
  
“This is historic,” said Sandie Hawthorne, vice chair of the VMT. This is the first time we’re giving out this award and it might be the last. We may not do it again, but this one is for Karen.....We honor Karen because she is so special and we recognize her courage in battling pancreatic cancer,” Hawthorne said. “We’re here to recognize Karen’s spirit. She has shown us how to hold on to life and how to live life. No matter what, Karen is determined to stay active and alive in theater.”

   “Karen’s talent is what makes her special,” said Bill Davis, Chairman of The Villages Musical Theater who also leads the Villages Pop Chorus. “You combine her talent with her spirit and drive, and you truly have a special person. She inspires people.”

Sandie Hawthorne, Vice Chairperson of the Villages Musical Theater, presents the first ever Spirit Award to Karen Martin with her husband, Charlie.

   Sadly, Karen lost her battle with cancer just two weeks after the award presentation. 

   Her memory remains an inspiration for us all.
