HART honors Thomson
HART Executive Director Steven Lloyd and Mieko Thomson.
At the opening of the Haywood Arts Regional Theatre’s current studio production “Venus in Fur,” the Waynesville theatre took the opportunity to honor long-time HART supporter, Mieko Thomson, as its “Volunteer of the Year.”
Thomson has served on and off the HART board for much of the past 25 years and has been a tireless supporter of the organization. Last season, she organized all of the opening night parties for the eight HART main stage productions, despite having left the board.
Board members are not eligible for the award and with Thomson no longer serving the timing was right. The plan was to honor Thomson at the annual board meeting in January, but she was busy out of the country helping her her new grandchild.
In addition to her charity work in the community, Thomson is a Realtor with RE/MAX in Waynesville.
