2023 Georgy Award Recipients
Susan and Jeffrey Rein
Susan and Jeff met during the course of their studies at the University of Arizona–College of Pharmacy. After graduation, Susan practiced Pharmacy for many years but Jeff, with his Accounting and Pharmacy degrees, decided to go into management and ended his career at Walgreens as Chairman and CEO
Their first date–December, 1978–was to a performance of “A Christmas Carol” at Arizona Theatre Company (was Arizona Civic Theatre at that time). Susan was so impressed with the show (it got their relationship off to a fabulous start)—entertaining, great acting, excellent costumes, set design and music/lighting—that she accepted his proposal for marriage. They have now been married over 42 years.
“We have supported ATC for many years. Not only are the shows entertaining, but they are thought-provoking and help us understand cultures and perspectives different from our own. Sometimes, the productions make you glad to be alive or they make you sad. The wide range of emotions they elicit are a testament to the power of theater, especially when it is presented in such as professional way as ATC does on a consistent basis.
As long-time residents of Tucson and enthusiastic supporters of all forms of art, we are gratified to be part of an organization that serves Arizona so well. We are honored to receive the 2023 Georgy Award.”
