The web-based publication focuses on the state\u2019s professional theater industry, uplifting the top productions, actors, artists, designers, writers and technicians. The awards are named for Oscar Wilde, an 1800s Irish poet and playwright.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potts previously received Wilde Awards for Farmers Alley Theatre productions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wilde-for-potts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Light in the Piazza<\/em><\/a> in 2012, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/lighting-design-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Bridges of Madison County<\/em><\/a> in 2018 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wilde-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Bright Star<\/em><\/a> in 2021. This time, the honor comes because of his work in the 2024 Farmers Alley Theatre production of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/spelling-bee\/\">The 25<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee<\/a><\/em>, a show presented at K that featured youthful characters trying to figure out their own personalities through competitive spirits and strong desires to spell. It\u2019s a story of kids coming together and creating bonds between them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer performances\u2014along with a Famers Alley production of <em>School of Rock<\/em>\u2014united K students with professional Actors\u2019 Equity Association performers and stage workers, just like in the summer stock productions they once had with the Playhouse\u2019s launch in 1964, 60 years prior.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potts\u2019 local work began in summer 1986. After serving the John F. Kennedy Center for the American College Theatre Festival as a stage manager, he worked as a technical director and lighting designer with the Kalamazoo Civic Youth Theatre program. He was hired in 1987 as the technical director for K\u2019s Festival Playhouse and since has sustained a 25-year teaching career within higher education while also providing guest masterclass design instruction at various venues, and providing professional presentations on lighting design, design communication, and leadership and creativity within the arts at professional conferences and workshops.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo awarded Potts last fall with a Community Medal of Arts. Since 1985, the annual award has recognized an artist who is a leader in their field, has a significant body of creative activity, has received local and\/or national acclaim, and has impacted the Kalamazoo community through art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we reflect upon celebrating the 60th anniversary of Festival Playhouse, the creative drive of Nelda K. Balch, the creative force for community good in Dorothy U. Dalton, the special relationship which forged the impetus for Festival Playhouse 60 years ago, and the creative artists who have participated in that work, I\u2019m honored to be a small piece of that much greater story,\u201d Potts said. \u201cI am so thankful for the opportunity to work for our community, with gifted artists, and especially, to create with our amazing students.&nbsp;#luckyme.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"410\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/cMcGUIRE-Academic-Rigor-THEATRE-Potts-prof-2018-00251-600x410.jpg\" alt=\"Wilde Award recipient Lanny Potts\" class=\"wp-image-23947\" style=\"width:361px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/cMcGUIRE-Academic-Rigor-THEATRE-Potts-prof-2018-00251-600x410.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/cMcGUIRE-Academic-Rigor-THEATRE-Potts-prof-2018-00251-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/cMcGUIRE-Academic-Rigor-THEATRE-Potts-prof-2018-00251-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/cMcGUIRE-Academic-Rigor-THEATRE-Potts-prof-2018-00251-1536x1049.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/cMcGUIRE-Academic-Rigor-THEATRE-Potts-prof-2018-00251.jpg 1837w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Theatre Arts Professor Lanny Potts has earned his sixth Wilde Award for Best Lighting through EncoreMichigan.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Six cast members from The 25th annual Putnam County Spelling Bee dressed as tweens for the show\" class=\"wp-image-22540\" style=\"width:359px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/06\/\u00a9Klose2uPhotography-LLC-FAT-Spelling-Bee-8_LR.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Potts&#8217; most recent Wilde Award recognizes the professional lighting work he did with the Farmers Alley Theatre production of &#8220;The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee&#8221; at K&#8217;s Festival Playhouse.
