It's such an honor to be nominated that we're practically floating on cloud nine... or is it cloud nine and three-quarters? We can never remember which cloud is the most prestigious.
We humbly request your support in this most glamorous of affairs. After all, elevating the voices of women and nonbinary folks is no small feat!
If you'd be so kind as to cast your vote (daily, through Sept 26, because apparently, we're as needy as a cat with an empty food bowl), we'd be ever so grateful. And while you're there, why not spread the love to our fabulous friends at Whim Productions? They're up for more awards than a film starring Meryl Streep!
* Best Play - Boxed
* Best Theater Company (As if there was any competition, darling.)
* Best Live Performance Event Alphabet Soup
* Best Cultural Event Alphabet Soup (Because one soup nomination just wasn't enough.)
* Best Live Theatre **Whim Space**
