NOMINEES – ArtPortNH Best in Seacoast Theater Awards 2023
ArtPort's Awards are a Broader-Seacoast-centric theater recognition, reviewed by former Spotlight Awards jurors and consultants, along with 30-year theater reviewer veteran Jeanne' McCartin.
The six jurors' accomplishments include a mix of current and past theater board members; directors, actors, producers, theater company owners, vocal trainer; and multi award-winning performers.
Thank you to all the area theaters, those participating and abstaining, for an excellent, rich, and diverse year of art. Truly one of the best of the past three decades!
Participating professional theaters and companies are: The Players' Ring and its presenting companies, New Hampshire Theatre Project, Prescott Park Arts Festival, Carpe Diem Inc., Rochester Opera House, Hackmatack Playhouse, Threshold Stage Co., and select shows from the Firehouse Center for the Arts. All other professional, seacoast theaters opted out of the process.
