Casey's Award; Family and Theater Friends

Casey was awarded an honorary Cappie for her dedication to theater and journalism at the Greater Philadelphia Cappies Gala on May 23, 2010. The award was presented by John Gildea, Casey’s high school teacher, theater director and friend. Michael Pacifico, a childhood neighbor and friend and Cappies nominee from Garnet Valley High School also participated in the award presentation. The Springfield High School men who performed in The Laramie Project which won a Cappie for Best Play, wore pink vests and ties with their tuxedos in honor of Casey. Each of the SHS three acceptance “speeches” for a Cappie award thanked both Casey and Mathew Shepard (about whom The Laramie Project was written). The video clip of the award presentation to Casey can be seen in frame #4. Note: Read/view The Delco News Network article and videos, " Glitz and Glamour at the Cappies Gala" or the Springfield Press article, "Casey Feldman Honored at Cappies". SHS dedicated their entire 2009-2010 theater season to Casey and held a special pink performance of The Laramie Project in Nov. 2009, dedicating a plaque in Casey’s honor which hangs on the wall of the Knorr Theater.
