We hope you enjoyed the Oscar-style announcement, recorded by our partner Artslandia, and delivered by two gorgeous ladies in PJs! Such fun!
Here is the link if you missed it!
Now, for those of us who like to savor the written word…We are thrilled to announce the following FINALISTS for the 37th Drammy Awards, to be held on Monday, 29 June, 2015, at the Newmark Theatre!
PLEASE ALSO NOTE that, in addition to these DRAMMY finalists, PATA will as usual be presenting Spotlight Awards, and our lovely Parent Company, PCTG, will be presenting the Fulton Fellowship for an established artist, the Portland Civic Theatre Award in support of a theatre company, and the Mary Brand Award for support of theatre education for young people.
Ceremony starts at 7 pm. Bar and lobby will be open beforehand.
PLEASE will all companies representing these productions, artists, and practitioners send FINALISTS photos to us at drammyawards@gmail.com as soon as possible, if not sooner ;-), so that we can prepare our finalists/winners slide show. PLEASE DO NOT SEND A LINK, or a CHOICE. One photo per finalist…show, ensemble, individual etc…only, preferably one that sheds light on the award recipient. We know that is hard for, say, “pit ensemble,” but please do your best! We know how creative you are!
Thank you.
