Every year an actor or actress is recognized by the Mutton Eaters for an outstanding performance in film, television, stage or local theatrical venue. Our first recipient for her tour de force performance as Lizabeth of Maplecroft in Lizzie Borden Live ! was Jill Dalton in May 2008. Jill is the star and creator of the project. The play was a smash in a Providence run in November and March of 2009 at the Columbia Theatre and will be returning to the area in June and August of 2009 to Fall River.
At this year’s meeting, we were thrilled to recognize TWO outstanding performances for the calendar year 2008 with the Mutton Eaters Lambie Award for the Performing Arts: Andrew Correia and Kathleen Troost (Pear Essential Players) for their portrayals of Borden undertaker James Winward and Borden maid, Bridget Sullivan.
