2020 Marcom Masque Awards

The 2020 Marcom Masque Awards Ceremony was held on Saturday, August 15, 2020 via Zoom.
The annual event celebrates our production season, and all Kentwood Players members who have seen a production cast their votes in several categories for our annual Marcom Masque Awards, named in honor of our founders Jan and Arky Marcom.
Every performer, designer, producer, and director in all six productions are nominated in categories proposed by the Plays Committee and approved by the Board.

A sixth production was postponed this year due to COVID-19.
