Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Theater
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Barrymore Awards are the Philadelphia-area awards for excellence in theatre, analogous to New York's Tony Awards.
The program is produced by the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia and is the only comprehensive awards program in the region, recognizing artistic excellence in theatre. Each year, over 100 productions, produced by professional theatres in the region, are reviewed by the Barrymore nominating committee, and nominations are generated to approximately 100 actors, directors, and designers.
