The
Order of the Sword Award
The Order
of the Sword is awarded to a member of the backstage crew for
each show. It is a real sword, accompanied by a plaque and like
the Cairo Kate award, travels from one winner to another at the
end of a play. The original sword was presented to The Drama Workshop
by Betty Wichman. She was truly a great backstage person
and when she died, The Drama Workshop decided to honor her by naming
this sword after her. The Order of the Sword was first presented
in 1968 with the play The Gazebo. Since that time, it has
been on stage during every performance as a symbol of the continuous
unity of performers and technicians. Have you ever noticed it?
