What Does a Cappies Room Look Like?
The Cappies Room offered the Cappies critics a place to view the Cappies Boards prepared by all the crews
involved with “The Children’s Hour,” to discuss the show’s merits, and to select their critics’ choices for
categories such as “best actor” etc. The crews displayed pictures and explanations of their work on their
Cappies Boards. Dinner and décor for the Cappies Room were planned by Kim Johnson.
