Gene Nash Scholarship
The Gene Nash Scholarship Award was presented for the first time in 1998. It is presented to a student attending college with plans for a degree in the performing/dramatic arts. Lee Nash established this award in memory of her husband, Gene Nash, and the theatre is honored to continue it. For many years before his death, the name Gene Nash was synonymous with the Gaslight and he is greatly missed.
