County Players is thrilled to share that a powerful photograph of our Season 64 production of Prelude to a Kiss, taken by our production photographer Louisa Vilardi, has been included in the 2025 Inspired by NAPCP Print Competition & Gallery Event Top 100 photos! Every County Players production brings together a wide variety of artists to create the overall combination of visual spectacle, words, and performances that make up a unique production. A photo like this one captures everything from the visual elements of set design (Jim Granger), costume design (Rosemary Evaul), projection design (Mark Weglinski), and lighting design (Marc Schroeder) to emotional performances by actors (Doug Woolley and Julian Garcia) compiled under the vision of their director (Christine Crawfis).
We strive to create these kinds of beautiful and emotional moments for our audiences in every production and consider ourselves very fortunate to have Louisa’s impeccable eye in production photography to capture the skill, work, and love we put into every performance. We are proud to be the subject of a photo that has been given a national acknowledgement, and wish to congratulate Louisa on this achievement!
