Panelists for the League of Cincinnati Theatres (LCT) have recognized lighting designer Denny Thomas and Scenic Designer Mary Slocum for their work on Mad Anthony Theatre’s production of THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
THE STORY OF MY LIFE is a moving musical that follows the friendship of Alvin and Thomas, two men from a small town. These lifelong friends are reunited after Alvin’s mysterious death. In the abstract world of his mind, Thomas struggles to write Alvin’s eulogy while recounting the many turns their lives have taken since meeting as children.
Panelists praised Mary Slocum’s set design, “a powerful all-white bookcase that was an effective backdrop for the action,” and the lighting director and operator, Denny Thomas, who “used his lights to dramatic effect.”

League of Cincinnati Theatre panelists evaluate productions on a 5 star scale and recommend shows at either a 4 star or 5 star level. Nominations for LCT awards will be determined and announced at the end of the season and winners awarded at the annual LCT gala in the spring.
