Add some names and a belated nomination

There have been some changes to the ACT-CO THEA awards since the ceremony last Saturday, which came too late for the newspaper story. The Borelians in Port Perry won best set design for Alice in Wonderland. Linda Edwards was the only one mentioned at the event but Jennifer Hardie and Carey Nicholson should also have had their names on that award. ACT-CO has added them to the award. Congrats to all three hard-working artists.
Chalk up another nomination for Scugog Choral Society's production of My Fair Lady from ACT-CO. This one in the best director category for Michael Roantree. Turns out the director who won at the April 5 awards gala was actually a professional director and thus not eligible for the THEA awards. Once this was discovered, the award was rescinded and the adjudicated gave it to another of the nominees he'd named, this one from Clarkson Musical Theatre. That then left another spot for a nominee, since the adjudicator was allowed to nominate three directors. To fill that vacant nominee spot, he picked Roantree, well known in Oshawa LIttle Theatre circles.
