The 2011 Ovation Award Nominee Reception was held last Sunday, October 16 at the Norris Center for the Performing Arts in Rolling Hills Estates. Nominees had the opportunity to meet each other, receive their nomination certificates and be instructed on the do’s and don’ts at the November 14 ceremony — like how to not break their Ovation Award immediately after receiving it.
The 2011 Ovation Honorary Awards were also presented to Brian Danner (fight choreography for Theatre Banshee’s Walworth), and Kristopher Bicknell and Gwyneth ConawayBennison (puppet design Rogue Artists Ensemble’s D is for Dog). The honorees for Composition for a Play and Video Design were unable to attend. Nominees were then adjourned to afternoon matinees and rehearsals.
The 2011 Ovation Awards ceremony will take place on Monday, November 14 at the Orpheum Theatre, 842 South Broadway, in downtown Los Angeles. The curtain will rise at 7:30 pm. For information, to become a volunteer or a sponsor, and to purchase tickets, visit www.LASTAGEOvations.com.
