We pay tribute to Vic Kumma, our beloved Freddy coordinator, house manager, and director of volunteers. He passed away December 10, 2008. Vic was diagnosed with cancer in March, and rarely missed a day at the theatre until entering hospice after Thanksgiving. He was the welcoming smile and voice of the theatre, loved by patrons, volunteers, staff, and the entire Freddy community. We will miss him more than words can express. Beginning with the 2009 program, the Outstanding Solo Vocal FREDDY© was renamed the Vic Kumma Award for Outstanding Solo Vocal Performance.
