Regina Dudo Harlequin Club Scholarship
 Regina Dudo served as the Business Manager for the Harlequin Club for three seasons between 2017-2020. During that short time she made a profound impact on the club both in her strong commitment to all her business activities but also in her evident care and support of all the students. She was someone who could always be counted on to get things done and showed a determination to figure out how to do anything asked of her. She found so much joy in seeing the Harlequin students thrive in whatever they were doing. Even days before her passing she was watching a club virtual cabaret from her hospital room and posting positive, encouraging comments for all the performers. Though she faced a difficult diagnosis, she never complained and stayed focused on doing what she needed to do to feel better and be able to help those around her. The Regina Dudo Harlequin Club Scholarship will be awarded to a graduating senior who demonstrates her character strengths of courage, optimism, hard work, determination, dependability, kindness and love of theater.

EVAN CARROLL (2024 RECIPIENT)

Evan exemplifies the characteristics intrinsic to this award presented in Regina Dudo’s memory. Evan has been dedicated to the Harlequin Club both on and offstage. She often worked long after others had gone home to ensure that the artistic elements of our productions were top-notch. She took on projects selflessly and independently for the good of the group and production, without seeking credit or recognition. Her efforts always came from a place of love for art and for the benefit of the club and its members. Her tireless work ethic, artistic talent and strong leadership will be sorely missed.

KAILYN ANGELITIS (2025 RECIPIENT)

Kailyn is a kind, hardworking, generous and talented young woman who has always put the Harlequin Club, its success and love of the art at the forefront. In addition to performing in multiple main stage productions and student-directed one-act plays and other projects, Kailyn also served as the Art Lead Officer for our Honor Troupe. Kailyn didn't only lead scenic art projects for our 3D sets, but with our new Christie projector and Isadora software, Kailyn also created original moving and still projections for our fall production of Alice By Heart. Additionally, she created original poster and t-shirt designs and print marketing materials for multiple projects, all while simultaneously performing in leading roles in all three main stage shows. She earned a "standout performance award" at the PA Thespian Conference for her role in The Happy Journey by Thornton Wilder and her original projection artwork and design earned her a Philadelphia Independence Award for "Creative Effects" in a musical in May 2025. Her leadership, creativity, dedication and positivity will be sorely missed.
