Nominees- Best Show (Non-Musical)
28-7-14
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 closes on August 13th!
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!

Congrats to the nominees! I saw all the shows and it will be very hard to pick between these. They're all so different and very good in their own way.
