The Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle has announced its nominations and special awards for excellence in Los Angeles and Orange County theatre for the year 2009. The 41st Annual Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards ceremony will take place on Monday, March 22 at the Colony Theatre, thanks to the generous donation of the Colony’s management. The theatre is located at 555 N. Third Street, in Burbank. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. for a catered reception (with no-host bar) and silent auction. The show commences at 7:30 p.m.
The 2010 LA Drama Critics Circle Awards ceremony on March 22 is sold out. Any last-minute cancellations will be sold at the door. Nominees who have not yet reserved a seat, and wish to do so, may still e-mail us at crixawards2010@gmail.com, and we will endeavor to accommodate them if at all possible. Our thanks to the Los Angeles theatrical community for their enthusiastic response to this event.
The show will be hosted by L.A. theatre favorite Jason Graae (recipient of the 2007 Joel Hirschhorn Award for outstanding achievement in musical theatre) who will be joined by everyone’s favorite LADCC Awards co-host, critic Wenzel Jones. Performing at the event, in addition to Mr. Graae, will be the cast of Life Could Be A Dream (3 nominations, including production). Additional performers and presenters will be announced at a later date.
Awards will be given in twenty categories, honoring excellence in theatre over the past year. Eight special awards will also be given, including an award honoring Kirk Douglas for his lifetime contribution to Los Angeles theatre; and the new Milton Katselas Award for career or special achievement in direction, sponsored by Katselas Theatre Company. The LADCC is grateful to the organizations who have graciously agreed to sponsor some of our special awards this year.
