Vancouver's first Jessie Awards a success

BEST ACTOR goes to
Jackson Davies for an
outstanding comic per-
formance, albeit mostly
ad lib, at Sunday’s First
Annual Jessie Awards.

Named after Jessie
Richardson, a strong, sup-
portive member of Van-
couver theatre for many
years, the awards are Van-
couver’s answer to Tony.

Davies, to the probable
horror of the scriptwriter
and the occasional embar-
rassment of co-host Pia
Shandel-Southam, brought
an irreverant hilarity to the
bombastic sentimentality of
most of the evening's pro-
ceedings.

And Shandel-Southam
deserves best supporting ac-
tress for being able to follow
the erratic pace set by

Davies.

As various local
luminaries presented lovely
free-form sculptures created
by North Shore sculptor Carl
Merten, the audience clap-
ped and cheered in celebra-
tion of the thriving local
theatre scene, crowding the
Arts Club at Granville
Island.

Winners of the evening
were Blood Relations which
won best production of a
play, best director (Larry
Lilo) and best lighting design
(Marsha Sibdthorpe), and
Reflections on Crooked
Walking, Ann Mortifee’s
musical fantasy, which won
best production of a musical,
best supporting actor (Simon
Webb) and best costume
design (Marti Wright).

Best Actress went to
Alana Shields for A State of
Grace, best actor was won
by Tom McBeath in The
Kite.
