2010 Suzi Nominees
14 Theatres share nominations
 Once again our Panel Judges have taken a whole season of live theatre and chosen the most outstanding designs, direction and performances in over 20 categories for Musicals and Plays.
This year we added a World Premiere category to the Suzi Awards, since so many of Atlanta's theatres are shepherding new work to the stage. Great productions from young playwrights and experienced teams alike are getting a special mention at the Awards Ceremony this year. Twyla Tharpe's Frank Sinatra-inspired dance story of couples in a nightclub went on after its Alliance run to play on Broadway. Ismail Khalidi's Tennis in Nablus, also at the Alliance, was the winner of the Kendeda Graduate Playwright Competition.
Alliance's two world premieres share the World Premiere category with the Actor's Express production of Sarah Gubbin's Fair Use, Douglas Tappin's I Dream, and Janece Shaffer's Brownie Points, produced at Theatrical Outfit. Actor's Express Artistic Director Freddie Ashley came across Fair Use through the Kendeda Competition at the Alliance Theatre. I Dream,a musical about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a natural for development and production in Atlanta, where composer Douglas Tappin now resides. Atlanta playwright Janece Shaffer's modern comedy Brownie Points, produced last year at Theatrical Outfit, rounds out varied category. Shaffer was the recipient of last year's Gene-Gabriel Moore Playwriting Award for her play Managing Maxine.
Of course, many other exciting productions are represented in this year's Suzi Nominees - read the whole press release and see the full nomination list at www.suziawards.org |
