Hope you have been enjoying a very active year of local theatre productions. The calendar is so full that now we are even enjoying many local summer productions. You can never have too much theatre.

A few changes have taken place in the award structure this year and we thought you would like to keep up to date.

Last season we changed the Outstanding Script Award to one that is chosen by a group of “script readers” and the award is given based on the written work not the performance.

This season we have decided to remove the Outstanding Touring and Best Ballyhoo Awards.

On the other side of the coin we have added and Outstanding Youth Drama and changed the Outstanding Youth Production to Outstanding Youth Musical.

In the Core Awards we have add Outstanding Drama so there will be separate awards for Drama, Comedy and Musical Productions, and retained The Outstanding Production Award.

Please note when you register a Musical check only the Musical category not “Comedy”.

Finally, to make things easier for you we are returning to a 2 week prior to opening registration requirement. Many of you missed the 30 days prior to opening registration requirement which created a lot of manual inputting for our webmaster. So, NO EXCEPTIONS!!! You MUST register 2 weeks prior to opening. (that’s 14 calendar days) You can register much earlier if you wish, but no latecomers!

Looking forward to another busy fall filled with live theatre.

From your Brickenden Committee

This year the Brickenden Awards will recognize the very important person behind the scenes – The Stage Manager.
We would appreciate if you would send a photo, title of the play and a picture of your stage manager. If he/she has managed more than one play for you in the 2010 season please include all titles.

Please send all information to Richard Gilmore.
