Dave Milligan Award

David Milligan was a beloved member of our Society for many years. Whether serving as Stage Manager or Assistant Stage Manager, performing on stage as a dancer and actor, or working behind the scenes on crew, Dave’s dedication and passion were evident in everything he did. After his sudden passing in 2002, the Dave Milligan Volunteer Recognition Award was created to honor volunteers who exemplified his spirit of generosity and commitment. While this award is no longer presented, Dave’s legacy of hard work, kindness, and love for the theatre continues to inspire all who follow in his footsteps.
