Many of you folks know that the Kevin Kline Awards, part of the Professional Theatre Council of St. Louis (PTC), a local organization formed with the intention of honoring excellence in St. Louis professional theater, announced their hiatus from the scene last year, and as a result, no Kevin Kline Awards will be presented for 2012. But, Mark Bretz (Ladue News) and Judith Newmark (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) hatched an idea to let the reviewers in town come up with their own awards. Truth is, this town is soaked with too many quality productions offered by quality companies to let a year go by with no recognition. So, the St. Louis Theater Circle was born -- made up of critics who cover theater here. And personally, I'm honored to have been included.
The inaugural St. Louis Theater Circle Awards presentation, to be held *March 18, 2013 at the Florissant Civic Center, will celebrate theatrical achievements in the year 2012 in local professional theater as recognized by the St. Louis Theater Circle. Tickets will be $10 apiece and can be reserved by contacting stltheatercircle@sbcglobal.net.
A couple of days ago the nominations for the inaugural St. Louis Theater Circle Awards were announced. Here they are, and congratulations to all of the nominees! Yay theatre!!
