Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Announce Their 42nd Awards Gala  Image

The San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critic Circle has announced the date and locale for its 42nd Annual Excellence in Theatre Awards Gala.  The event will be held on Monday, March 26, 2018 at San Francisco's historic Victoria Theatre.  The event will be hosted by Walter M. Mayes with musical entertainment provided by The Lost Trio.

Nominations will be announced for performance, direction, design and production categories on Thursday, February 1, 2018. Four Special Awards will also be presented at the ceremony with two of them having already been announced.

The recipient of the SFBATCC 2018 Annette Lust Award - given to a promising new theatrical talent or an organization that has demonstrated early in its existence the potential to have a significant impact on Bay Area theatre – is San Francisco's FaultLine Theater.  FaultLine, founded in 2012, has displayed a commitment to local artists and original works that appeal to an underserved demographic and has successfully produced 22 full-length plays.  

The SFBATCC 2018 Paine Knickerbocker Award for a continuing contribution to Bay Area theatre will be presented to the San Jose Stage Company. Founded 35 years ago, "The Stage" has dedicated itself to its mission of illuminating the human condition through imaginative and edgy theatrical experiences that spark ideas and dialogue with the audience. This decades-long tradition of serving the South Bay artistic community through the creation of quality theatre led to its selection for this year's award.

The Circle anticipates announcing the recipients of the 2018 Gene Price Professionalism Award and the Jerry Friedman Lifetime Achievement Award within the next week.
