"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," 2019
Myl Trempf Award
The Myl Trempf Award is the highest honor the Board of Directors can give to an AFD member. The award is for members who epitomize the “behind the scenes” work at AFD – the unsung heroes.
​
Myldred Foley Trempf was a special person. She was a friend (small “f” and a Friend (capital “F”.) As a Friend, she was an actress, production manager, and president extraordinaire. Myl was AFD. Her last directing gig here was Anastasia in 1961, but she remained active long after that. In the “olden days” when the Prologue was done on a mimeograph machine, that machine was kept at her house in Belmont.
In 1979, as probably her last gift to AFD, she “lent” us $50,000; she said she wanted to do that before she was “pushing up the daisies.” She wanted to see that money being used and we were to pay her back at the princely sum of $50 per month. When she died, only a couple of years later, and we had repaid a mere pittance, the debt was absolved. We then decided that the best way to honor her was with the Myl Trempf Award.
