Presenting our 2019-2020 Knot Award winners

Pull-Tight Players presented its annual Knot Awards celebration June 27. It was the first time in our organizations’ history that we held a virtual event, in keeping with our efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

For the first time in several years, we presented acting awards in four categories. Our season ticket holders voted for the winners.

You can watch the entire event online on our YouTube channel, or our website.
