2012 Column Award nominations announced

Dallas Theater Center, Plaza Theatre Company, and Artisan Center Theater lead the nominees.

The 2012 Column Award nominations were announced via a live web cast and in front of a live audience.

In the Equity field, Dallas Theater Center led the pack with 39 nominations. Hurst's Artisan Center Theater (52 nominations) and Cleburne's Plaza Theatre Company (51 nominations) led the Non-Equity Field.

Other theater companies that scored big last night include Dallas's Uptown Players (28 nominations), Irving's ICT Mainstage (39 nominations), Theatre Three (21 nominations), WaterTower Theatre (19 nominations), Garland Summer Musicals (12 nominations), and Casa Manana (11 nominations).

The Column Award honor excellence in theatre throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Theatre Community, both in Equity and Non-Equity Theater companies. This marks their 13th year uniting and celebrating the accomplishments of all artists who bring to life the art of theater.

The Column Awards is also a major fundraiser gala for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a charity they have supported since year one. To date, they have raised and donated close to $70,000 to BC/EFA. The Column Awards is the only awards organization in the entire United States that donates all money raised (after expenses) from ticket sales of the gala to BC/EFA. The Column Awards has been very honored to have been acknowledged by the national media, BC/EFA, Actor's Equity Association, and the Broadway community for their fundraising efforts.

This year's Column Awards black tie/formal wear gala will be Monday, February 27, 2012 at the Patty Granville Performing Arts Center in Garland. Cocktail reception starts at 7 p.m., with the ceremonies beginning at 8 p.m. The announcement of celebrity guest stars will be forthcoming soon! For ticket info and all information regarding The Column Awards, go to www.thecolumnawards.org.

"This year the voting was higher than any previous year since the creation of the electronic ballot," said Executive Director/Producer and Founder of The Column Awards John Garcia. "The first day of voting alone shattered all previous years in just one day! The final voting total was close to a staggering 200,000 votes."

"I think this was one of the most bountiful seasons of riches with the outstanding talent provided by theater companies both big and small. So to go from countless hundreds of possible individuals and shows to just six is such a difficult decision made by the voter. But they hold the power as The Column Awards are their voice," Garcia said.

The Column Awards are voted by the subscribers to The Column. There are more than 22,000 readers who subscribe to The Column; they are the voters. Practically everyone and anyone who is involved in DFW theater is a subscriber, such as artistic directors, producers, directors, actors, designers, choreographers, musical directors, publicists, playwrights, local theater critics from other publications, local television anchors, and reporters. The general public are also subscribers, those who are not involved in theater, but love attending live theater and support this beautiful art. Thus, those nominated have been chosen not only by the very peers they work with, but also the very audience that they present their art in front of.

NOTE: Round 2 for voting has started today. This second round of voting is now where the subscriber will pick the winner. To vote for Round 2, you had to vote in Round 1. You will use the same voting code. You can vote by going to www.thecolumnawards.org.

So without further ado, The Column Awards board of directors and the executive producer/director is very honored and pleased to announce the nominees for the 2012 Column Awards.
