Background:

Chairman, I am very proud to announce that on March 19, the Reston Community Players received 13 Washington Area Theatre Community Honors Awards​​, also known as the WATCH awards. The awards were for the Players productions of "A Little Night Music," "The Game's A Foot" and "Bright Star." By comparison, the next highest number of awards received was six by the Arlington Players. The Reston Community Players have enriched our county since 1966, which was just a few years after Robert E. Simon, Jr. founded Reston. We are very proud of our performing arts community in Fairfax County and recognize this noteworthy achievement by the Reston Community Players.

Motion:

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I ask that the Office of Public Affairs prepare a certificate of recognition for the Reston Community Players, including the 2023 WATCH Award recipients, to be presented at an upcoming Board of Supervisors meeting.
