HARRY AND GRACE PRESTON

The Board of Directors has chosen HARRY and GRACE PRESTON to be honored this season for their outstanding contributions to our community and of course to our Performing Arts Center.

Harry and Grace Preston arrived in Borrego Springs over seventeen years ago. Harry, who before migrating to Borrego Springs had acted with several theatre groups in the San Diego area, including the prestigious North Coast Rep Company, soon found an outlet for his creativity by becoming an actor here on the stage of the Performing Arts Center.

Over the  years, Harry has delighted audiences in a variety of roles. He has shown his versatility in roles as diverse as Eliza Doolittle’s cockney father in My Fair Lady and the villainous Waldo Lydecker in last season's production of Laura.  In addition to his talent as an actor, Harry is an accomplished painter.  While Harry enchants audiences with his humor and talent, Grace has chosen to display her talents by creating the garden oasis that surrounds their home.
