This year’s Tony Honors are presented to The Alliance of Resident Theatres New York, B.H. Barry and BC/EFA executive director Tom Viola.

The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in Waterford, CT, is the recipient of the 2010 Tony Award for Regional Theatre.

Regina native and former Lyric performer Kyle Golemba is part of the cast of Tony Award-winning director John Doyle’s new production of Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate, which opened Tuesday at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival.

Kiss Me, Kate, which Lyric staged in 1991 with Colin Grewar and Crystal Hanson in the lead roles, is a musical comedy about backstage romance during a musical production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. The libretto is by Sam and Bella Spewack. The Porter score includes “So In Love,” “Too Darn Hot” and “Brush Up Your Shakespeare.”

The Golden Apple Theatre, Regina’s new professional theatre company, has announced its inaugural season. The Golden Apple Theatre has multiple connections to Lyric through both of its artistic directors and its board.

The artistic directors are Andorlie Hillstrom, who has performed in several Lyric shows (most recently Follies) and also directed The Apple Tree, and Robert Ursan, who has directed most of Lyric’s spring shows for more than 15 years now, most recently Gypsy. The board of directors includes past Lyric president and frequent performer and director Edward Willett, and Kyle Golemba, who also performed with Lyric and now has a professional career, performing at the Stratford Festival among other places.

The theatre’s first season includes two musicals, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, and Robert Ursan’s musical adaptation of the classic children’s novel The Little Prince, plus a dance adaptation of the graphic novel Balogne.
