Laura Louise attended most theatre productions from 1978 – 2009 with her daughter, emeritus staff member Katherine Pryor. She died at the age of 91.
The Laura Louise Pryor Memorial Award provides an award for a student graduating with a degree in Theatre or Theatre/ Voice who has made significant contributions to the University Theatre production program. Candidates must show evidence of being generous and have a strong work ethic. Preference will be given to a student who has a love for music and who has demonstrated a love for animals.
Eligible students must apply by March 15 for award consideration. The award is presented by vote of the faculty & staff of the department.
