Natalie Lunn Technical Theater Award The Natalie Lunn Technical Theater Award was established by alumni/ae and friends in September 2013 to honor Natalie’s remarkable legacy of supporting and encouraging students interested in technical theater. Today the fund is more than halfway to the goal of $100,000 by 2018. Maud Kernowski Sachs ’86 and Lisa Jurowski Vasey ’84, cochairs of the Natalie Lunn Technical Theater Award Committee, say they are overjoyed at the response: “So many people have come together to make this happen that it’s been like putting on a show. It’s heartwarming how passionate the alumni/ae from all three decades of Natalie’s time at Bard are about this award. We are incredibly grateful to all of the donors who have contributed to ensuring Natalie’s legacy.” The award will be given to two students each year to financially support their participation in summer internships in technical theater.
