Nominees- Best Show (Non-Musical)
12-8-15
The public voted for the best shows of the year and these were their results. It's amazing how wonderful all these productions are and yet so different. We have comedies, tragedies, theatre of the absurd and serious character studies nominated. Over the next few weeks we will be writing articles about all the nominees for The Hecklers.
Mass disclaimer: all the photos in these nominee articles are the property of the artists who created these shows and the photographers who took them. We're writing these articles to help inform the public so they can make their decisions on the Heckler ballot. Voting will close September 4th. And don't forget the ceremony on September 7th at Orange Peel!
You can see all the nominees here. You can sign up for your ballot here. And you can sign up for the newsletter here. Newsletter subscribers will be the first ones to receive invites to the party after the nominees!
Waiting for Godot, Theatre du Pif
Theatre du Pif's Waiting for Godot was a soldout success. They took on Samuel Beckett's 1953 piece of theatre of the absurd with wit, beautiful theatrical designs and brave acting choices.
Romance, Aurora Theatre
David Mamet isn't for everyone. His brazen language and word choices are controversial, but Aurora Theatre took on these tasks and his concepts like, peace in the Middle East, like champions.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Naiad Productions
One Flew Over the Cukcoo's Nest is a literary and cinematic classic. It's not an easy task to take on. Naiad productions assembled a wonderful cast and put on a truly memorable production.
Jekyll & Hyde, Chung Ying Theatre
Jekyll & Hyde is a novel we all study in school. Chung Ying Theatre took a classic and turned the story on it's head with gender blind casting and a new adaptation by playwright, Jonathan Holloway.
Macbeth, Sweet and Sour Productions
Sweet and Sour Productions' Macbeth was about stripping away the script of the Scottish play to bare bones and exploring the wickedness in the story with a small cast of six.
