Celebrating the Theatre in Edmonton

Once again the Elizabeth Sterling Haynes Awards are completely juried.  We had 13 excellent jurors for the main stage season and 5 for the Fringe this year who saw all the eligible Sterling shows.  They voted on a completely secret weighted ballot to determine the nominees and then will cast another vote on the nominees for the final selection in each category. We have enclosed a list of the nominees for your information.

This year the Sterlings will be hosted by the dynamic duo of Linda Grass and Kieran Martin Murphy. 

This year’s Sterling committee will be putting together a sensational evening.  The show will be written by Jocelyn Ahlf and Belinda Cornish directed by Mieko Ouchi  with music provided by the amazing Josh Mellott and will feature songs from nominated musicals, favorite show-stopping moments from the season’s new plays and fringe hits.
