Jimmy Award and Academic Award RecipientsThe NMU Theater Department in conjunction with the First Nighters Club held the 2013 Drama Prom. The evening consisted of a social hour, dinner, senior skits, Jimmy Award and Academic Awards Ceremony, and culminating with a dance.
Each year, the theater faculty honors students for academic awards and contributions to the theater department. This year, the First Nighters Club sponsored The Jimmy Awards in conjunction with this event. The Jimmy Award is named in honor of Dr. James Rapport and Dr. James A. Panowski, two of the greatest contributors to the creation, success and enduring legacy of the Forest Roberts Theatre and the NMU Theater progam.
