The prestigious Wanda Award was created in 2002 as a way of recognizing outstanding service to the Theater Arts Guild and its mission. It is the highest honor TAG can bestow. It is held for one year, then passed on to a new honoree. The winner of the award is determined solely by the current holder, who adds a commemorative “tag” to the wand in honor of the recipient. In 2008 the Wanda was passed from Cathy Pfahl to its new owner, Ellen Palmer with the ceremonial “TAG, you’re it!” Congratulations, Ellen!
