2014 Award of Distinction
In early 2014, the Clarence Brown Theatre hosted a very successful and impactful production of The Whipping Man. The sellout play, set in the post-Civil War period, sparked a heightened interest in history and led to discussions, a scholarly lecture, and new community partnerships. Present to receive this award were John Sipes, Calvin MacLean and Brooks Clark.
