WELCOME<br />
It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. But tonight we make the<br />
best of <strong>it</strong> all. Having marked our first quarter-century last year, the <strong>Drammy</strong><br />
Comm<strong>it</strong>tee is pleased to inaugurate the second this evening, and who better<br />
to observe the occasion w<strong>it</strong>h than you?<br />
This year, the comm<strong>it</strong>tee has seen 124 plays and lived to tell the tale. But<br />
deep w<strong>it</strong>hin those 124 productions could be found some excellent, often<br />
unforgettable work. Our purpose this evening, as <strong>it</strong> has been for the past<br />
twenty-five years, is to honor that good work, which we hope (always and,<br />
sometimes we fear, foolishly) will set the proverbial bar that much higher. We<br />
think you’ll <strong>find</strong> the achievements recognized tonight to be of the highest<br />
caliber…not just by Portland standards, but by universal ones.<br />
So to the recipients of tonight’s awards (and even to those nameless few,<br />
whom we argued over b<strong>it</strong>terly for hours, but still did not get for them the<br />
needed votes), congratulations. To all else, have the time of your life!<br />
