Tessa Joy Davis ‘Gypsy Robe’ Award Winners
Traditionally known as the Gypsy Robe Award, the Tessa Joy Davis Award is presented on opening night to an outstanding company ensemble member. The recipient is chosen by the director based on attitude, improvement, and exceptional contribution to the production.
TIM has renamed the award for Tessa Joy Davis, who lit up our stage for years in past productions, and embodied the spirit of the award in every role she played.
Tessa Joy, your light shines forever!
