More Po'okela Awards issued
The Hawaii State Theatre Council has added two winners to the list of
Po'okela Award recipients announced Monday night.
The awards recognize local community theater performances, based on the evaluations of three adjudicators. Each may name two winners per category.
Two winners were missed on Monday: John Rampage for choreography in Diamond Head Theatre's "Gigi" and Jamie Rolfsmeyer for Featured Female in a Musical for Manoa Valley Theatre's "Urinetown."
Rampage now has two choreography awards (he also won for MVT's "She Loves Me").
Of the six theater groups that participate in the Po'okelas, MVT leads the pack with 31, followed by DHT with 25.
