Theatre Puget Sound is proud to honor Rex
Carleton as the 2003 recipient of the Gregory A. Falls Sustained
Achievement Award
 Rex
Carleton (biography & photos) has
been announced the recipient of the Gregory A. Falls Sustained Achievement
Award, presented by Theatre Puget Sound (TPS). This award honors
an individual who has devoted time, energy and talent to Seattle's
theatre community, and who has had an influence on theatre locally
and beyond.
This will be the sixth annual Gregory A. Falls Sustained Achievement
Award. The award was initiated in 1997 through a generous donation
by Jean Falls to honor the memory of Seattle theatre visionary Gregory
Falls. TPS will honor Carleton at a gala event on Monday, December
8, from 5:30 - 10:30pm with ceremony at 8:30pm in the Center House
Theatre at Seattle Center. The public is invited to attend. Additional
information regarding the forum as well as a
full bio and photos for Rex Carleton is also available.
Rex Carleton is a unique presence on the Seattle theater scene.
Most know him as the genial long-time technical and production director
for the late, great Group Theatre, the seminal multicultural firebrand
that operated locally from 1978 -1998, and whose influence is reflected
in theaters locally and nationally. There, Rex collaborated with
founder Rubén Sierra and with hundreds of artists and technicians
whose careers have been enhanced and advanced through their association
with Mr. Carleton.
He earned his
Master of Arts degree from the University of Washington in 1975
with a major in directing. He immediately landed a job stage-managing
a touring production directed by Bathhouse Theatre founder Arne
Zaslov as part of the Rep's Mobile Outreach program, touring for
nine months to high schools in four states. Upon his return he was
hired as Artistic Director of Theatre East in Kirkland, where he
directed and led the artistic development of the company until,
at Rex's urging, it moved to Capitol Hill in Seattle and was re-christened
as the Conservatory Theatre Company (CTC). In between his many directing
assignments there, Rex found time to design and manage the conversion
of a turn-of-the-century mortuary
