A New Westminster performer walked away with top honours at last night's Ovation Awards.
Sayer Roberts earned the Oustanding Lead Performance - Male award for his turn as Curly in the Royal City Musical Theatre company's production of Oklahoma! last spring.
He shared the honour with Andrew Cownden from Theatre Under the Stars' How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
RCMT's Oklahoma also earned Outstanding Lighting Design, for Gerald King.
RCMT's choreographer, Valerie Easton, was up for Outstanding Choreography - competing against her own work in the Arts Club Theatre production of Mary Poppins, among others. In the end, Easton earned the trophy for her work on Mary Poppins.
The Outstanding Professional Production winner also has a New Westminster connection. Arts Club Theatre's Avenue Q, which was directed by the Royal City's Peter Jorgensen, earned the top honours in that category.
