Cast members Jane L. Sansom and Amy Goodyear received All Star Cast recognition for their roles as “the Messenger” and “Dr. Lynn Cummings,” respectively. Irec Hargrove won Outstanding Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of “Jason Harper.”

The production also earned Outstanding Ensemble Acting and Backstage awards, while securing Alternate status to the upcoming Regional Festival.

Baytown Little Theater’s “Tuesdays With Morrie” and Brazosport Center Stages’ “Zoo Story” will represent Texas at the Regional Festival in New Mexico next month.

Theater officials say no public performances of “A Rock Sails By” are currently scheduled due to venue limitations.
