Yeoman of Regard - 2004
There are few areas of endeavor undertaken by the Savoyards to which David Larrick has not been a significant contributor. As Conductor for ten of our G&S shows, David raised the bar of artistic expectations and performance to levels to heights seldom reached in community theater. As six-time Technical Director, and also sometime set and lighting designer, David helped set the standard for our production values, focusing on artistic excellence, and also practicality and safety. But David has also been a visionary, from contributing to the re-formation of the Savoyards in the mid-eighties to proposing and leading the first productions of our now-traditional Summer Shows, extending the reach and scope of our Company.
