Awards

St Jude's Players Awards

The following are awards that are presented to people who have made valuable contributions to St. Jude's Players Inc.   We are in the process of building this to include all people who have been awarded Life Memberships and other awards by St. Jude's Players, thanks for your patience.

Life Membership

At the discretion of the Committee, members who have contributed to the Players in some major way over a number of years may have Life Membership conferred upon them. This is the Players' way of saying "Thank You" for sustained long service in whatever capacity, whether on the stage or behind the scenes (or in the box office!).
