Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play

A Female with 50% of stage time, whose character is the most relevant to the show, or whose character gets top billing or last curtain call. Voted on by the New Depot Players’ Paid Members, all cast and crew members from the NDP’s 2006-2007 season, and anyone currently nominated for an award. All eligible cast members have been listed and then are voted on. The one with the highest votes wins. Choose ONLY one.

Becky Chapman in Dearly Beloved. Ms. Chapman breathes life into the salt of the earth Honey Raye Futrelle, and leaves us all completely at home and in love with this character.

Connie Davis in Dearly Beloved. An amazing breakout performance! This actress’ hysterical portrayal as Twink Futrelle, the penny pinching reception planner, is side splittingly good.

Megan DeMarco in Dearly Beloved. A dual performance as twin sisters, Gina Jo and Tina Jo Dubberly, was pulled off superbly in this show.

Patty Maguire in The Boys Next Door. The tenderhearted love story of Sheila’s quest for love and happiness with doughnuts, keys, and of course Norman Bulansky.

Amy Simerly in Dearly Beloved. Her nuanced performance as the show’s central character Frankie Futrelle Dubberly, is easily one of the best of the year.
