The Thomas R. DuBuque Research Fellowship was created by the THS Board of Directors in 2012 to honor the memory of past THS president, Conclave Theatre Tour planner, and dedicated volunteer Thomas “Tom” R. DuBuque. Tom had a lifelong interest in theatres and was a member of THS from 1979 until his death in 2011.
The Fellowship is currently suspended. We hope to resume awarding it in the near future.
