The Annual Apple Awards is a community celebration of theater and performing arts in our region

Join us in honoring participating individuals and programs who have demonstrated excellence or innovation in theatre. The Apple Awards mission is to recognize unique talents within our communities, promote the arts to a broader audience, increase the depth of appreciation to existing audiences, and encourage the continued development of exceptional performers.

Evaluation Process

Each show has been assessed by a group of volunteer evaluators known as “The Apple Academy,” who have been selected to participate based on their experience and understanding of the performing arts. The evaluation criteria place value on creativity and achievement, taking into account unique resources and production challenges; spectacle or production value will not be emphasized.

Award recipients will be announced on June 1st at 7:00 pm
