By: Gabrielle Sierra Apr. 16, 2010
The Boston Theater Critics Association has announced its nominees for this year's Elliot Norton Awards, which recognize excellence in Greater Boston theater. The awards will be given at the 28th annual ceremony, to be held at 7 p.m. (Doors open at 6:30pm) on Monday, May 17, at the newly renovated Paramount Theatre, 549 Washington St., in Boston's Theater District.
As previously announced, actor Karen MacDonald, a founding company member of The American Repertory Theatre, is this year's recipient of the Elliot Norton Prize for Sustained Excellence. Tony Shalhoub and Brooke Adams, now on Broadway in "Lend Me a Tenor," will attend as guests of honor.
In addition, StageSource will present its annual Theatre Hero Award to Michael Maso, longtime managing director of the Huntington Theatre Company. The award honors Mr. Maso's role as a champion and inspiration for Boston-area theaters and artists. The evening will also include musical performances from the shows nominated for outstanding musical this year.
