Nominees must exhibit outstanding contributions to VOS Musical Theatre. They must have at least 20 consecutive years as a member, served at least three two-year terms on the Board of Directors, and been involved in numerous productions in any capacity.

Dave Milligan Volunteer Recognition Award

David Milligan was a member of the Society for many years. He was a Stage Manager, Assistant Stage Manager, Dancer, Performer, and worked crew for many shows. Dave died suddenly in 2002 and VOS Musical Theatre wanted to recognize this amazing man. The Dave Milligan Volunteer Recognition Award acknowledges outstanding volunteers from the previous season (July to June). The qualities we look for are outstanding contributions to the Society on or off stage, always willing to help, and a positive representative of the Society.
