What a night! 😍 Big hugs were shared!
On Monday, November 11, 2024, hundreds of folks gathered at the Scottish Rite Theater for a cathartic evening of celebrating the best of the performing arts in Austin: The 50th Annual B. Iden Payne Awards. Dancers, actors, singers, musicians, stage managers, tech and lighting folks, directors, producers, and craftspeople – it was like one giant cast party.
And OOO walked away with TWO awards!
Congrats to the team behind An Artist Regrets, winner of “Outstanding Production of a Short Play!”
(Cast members Kristin Bilodeau, Mikaela Pace, Maureen Broy Papovich, and Angela Irving; Director & Producer Julie Fiore, Music Director Joseph Choi, Tech Director Gus Sterneman, Assistant Director Carol Brown, Stage Manager Suzanne Smith, and House Manager Carlee Abschneider; along with creators Nell Clowder and Linda Nenno)
And congratulations to Maureen Broy Papovich on your much-deserved award, “Outstanding Performer in a Short Play!”
For the greater theatre community to embrace and include our medium of dynamic storytelling in this way is just 🫶🫶🫶 – we are incredibly grateful to be part of this community in Austin, and reinvigorated to do the important work that performing artists do.
This project has been funded in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
