Saturday, July 11 marks Pull-Tight Players’ 57th Annual Knot Awards Banquet at the Elk’s Lodge. And yes, we know what you’re all thinking: What’s the theme? The colors? The food? The cost? The vibe?
After a deep dive into some old prom yearbooks (you’re welcome), we considered classics like “An Evening in Paris” (a bit too fancy) and “Under the Sea” (a bit too…splashy). Then, it hit us: this past season has been full of bold ideas, brave choices, and so many firsts. And just like that, our theme was born: “An Evening of Firsts.”
Next up: the color palette. We’re going timeless with black and red—dramatic, elegant, and just a little bit daring.
Food? Handled. Kevin Livingston is back to cater, and as always, it will be absolutely delicious with something for everyone.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, May 4 at $25 per person. A cash bar will be available at the event.
Beyond the glitz, the glam, and the well-deserved applause… what’s the plan? Oh, just a little friendly competition. And by “friendly,” we mean fierce. Get ready for table vs. table, musical vs. musical, tech vs. tech—trivia, games, and bragging rights on the line. Yes, there will be prizes. Yes, you will want them.
So, dress to impress, brush up on your delightfully useless theater knowledge, and come ready to celebrate an incredible season, honor our award winners, and maybe—just maybe—crush the competition at the next table.
