Order of the Grey Squirrel
The coveted Order of the Grey Squirrel was established in December, 200l by the Board of Directors of the Theatre Arts Guild as a reward for excellence. The name was inspired by a stuffed grey squirrel that appeared on the set of almost every production during several years immediately prior to the establishment of the Award. The squirrel’s antecedents are unknown, but are assumed to be impeccable as, in a truly inspirational fashion; the squirrel always performed flawlessly and left no mess.
