The Frannie Awards
Named in honor of Frances Vandivort, THE FRANNIE AWARDS is Springfield Little Theatre’s annual volunteer celebration, recognizing the artists, performers, technicians, volunteers, and supporters whose time, talent, and dedication bring each season to life.
The Crown Jewel’s Biggest Night.
For more than nine decades, Springfield Little Theatre has shone as The Crown Jewel of the Ozarks— built on extraordinary productions, a remarkable legacy, and generations of people who have shared their time, talent, and passion with our community.
THE FRANNIE AWARDS is the night we celebrate them.
The performers who step into the spotlight. The artists, musicians, technicians, designers, directors, volunteers, and supporters who make every curtain rise. The hundreds of people whose contributions make each Springfield Little Theatre season possible.
Once a year, we gather at the historic Landers Theatre for Springfield Little Theatre’s biggest celebration of the year — an evening honoring the people, performances, contributions, and unforgettable moments that defined our 92nd SEASON.
Walk the red carpet and join us for award presentations, special performances, favorite moments from the season, and a few surprises as we recognize the extraordinary community behind your community theatre.
The stage is set. The red carpet is ready. Tonight, the Crown Jewel shines for you.
