THE MEGAN NEWTON
MEMORIAL AWARD IN THEATRE
Award Recipient 2024
Autumn Adrian
Autumn is an emerging artist in her final year of a BFA in dramatic arts for tech/design at the University of Lethbridge. She has a passion for costume and puppet design and plans to continue pursuing these areas after graduation. While she enjoys creating puppets for children's theatre, Autumn aspires to continue exploring the use of puppetry in theatre geared towards an older audience, as she believes that puppets bring something unique to theatre with mature themes. Autumn enjoys exploring multiple aspects of theatre and has experience in a variety of design and technical areas, as well as some performance experience. Autumn is currently collaborating with a professional costume designer on the University mainstage production of Paradise Lost by Erin Shields, where she will be creating Greek theatre style masks.
Autumn is incredibly grateful to have received this award and plans on putting it towards finishing up her studies.
