The Bay Players are proud to sponsor the Everett & Harriet Marston Award, given annually to a local graduating high school senior who’s been active in theatre. The award was established in 1972 to honor Everett Marston, a founding member of The Bay Players, and starting in 2000, the name was changed to honor Harriet Marston as well. Any senior from a local high school can apply, and the award is presented each year in June.
Applications for the 2026 award are now open — click here!
