The Christi Awards are a wonderful and fun evening to celebrate great performances by our actors young and old. On the first Saturday in June we gather to honor exceptional performances from that season. Our actors love the opportunity to dress-up, walk the red carpet with their castmates & family while they enjoy some great hors devours, musical performances from the season, and celebrating those who gave use these wonderful moments.
The Christi Award name is an abbreviated version of Christian to honor our name and God for giving us the abilities to do all that we do on stage. The award is an etched crystal award where a star is being carved out of the top of a mountain. This reflects what we do at CFT, chip away at the rough edges until we help create a star!
