A generation of Burbank residents knows Barry Burnett by his Burbank Park and Rec and Burbank High School name: "Coach." With twelve years coaching five sports, serving on three School Site Councils and being Advisor to Muir's Builders Club, Burnett has invested in our youth. On the Salvation Army Board for 14 years and Providence/St. Joseph's Capital Committees, Kiwanis, Emmanuel Church choir, along with Chamber of Commerce Board and Leadership Burbank, Burnett has "dabbled" a bit in charitable work and local Business. Past President of the Burbank Association of Realtors and retired state leadership in his field, Barry has also kept a hand in the care and feeding of the local real estate market. Burnett is a staunch supporter of local arts, especially The Colony Theatre!

Colony Theatre Artistic Director Barbara Beckley comments, “We are delighted and honored to be presenting this second annual ‘Spotlight’ award to Barry Burnett. His dedication to this community and his courage in the face of personal adversity, is an inspiration to us all. Barry is a hero and true champion to us and to Burbank. We are thrilled to be presenting him with this honor.”
