PARADISE SQUARE Earns More TBA Award Nominations Than Any New Musical; Full List!
.
By: Stephi Wild Sep. 21, 2019
Theatre Bay Area, one of the largest regional performing arts service organizations in North America, has announced the finalists of the 2019 TBA Awards. The sixth-annual TBA Awards Celebration will take place on Monday, Nov. 4 at the Herbst Theatre (401 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco).
This year's TBA Awards celebrates the generosity of the Bay Area theatre community with the theme "We Rise By Lifting Others." With this in mind, Theatre Bay Area has introduced a radically inclusive pricing structure for tickets to the celebration. All seats in the Herbst Theatre are available for the same price. Additionally, there is an economic accessibility code that will take $15 off that base price. Ticket buyers are encouraged to purchase early, as prices will increase as the celebration gets closer.
The TBA Awards 2019 Celebration will be hosted by multi-hyphenate theatermaker TBA Legacy Award recipient Margo Hall and multiple-TBA Award recipient Dave J. Abrams. The evening will also feature live performances from the finalists. This also marks the second year of gender-inclusive performance categories for the TBA Awards Program.
The sixth annual TBA Awards Celebration is open to the public. Tickets are available through City Box Office - online at www.cityboxoffice.com/TBA; over the phone at (415) 392-4400, or in- person at 180 Redwood Street, San Francisco. For the full pricing schedule, visit www.theatrebayarea.org/awardscelebration.
The TBA Awards are designed to honor excellence in professionally-oriented theatre produced throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Award finalists and recipients are determined through a peer-based, Bay Area-wide adjudication process. During each production season (September 1 to August 31), TBA Awards adjudicators attend eligible productions and submit recommended productions every week. Theatre Bay Area publishes these weekly recommendations for its members and to the general public. At the end of each season, all of the votes are tallied to determine each year's award finalists and recipients.
