Red Carpet Nominations for 2010 are now closed.

Thank you for your Red Carpet Award nominations.  As always we have received a number of diverse nominations.  It is heartening to note the thoughts of the nominators and the extensive list of qualifications and wide range of service to the theatrical arts and the community by the nominees. 

This year's award recipients will be notified in late June.  The names of the individuals and organizations that have been selected as 2010 Red Carpet awardees will be listed on the Women in Theatre website in July.  Bios and photos will soon follow prior to the Red Carpet Awards Saturday afternoon Oct. 23 at the Castaway in Burbank. 

We thank you once again for your nominations.  If your candidate was not selected, please do consider re-submitting the nomination in 2011.  Best wishes to all from Women in Theatre.
