Speech! Speech! The Winners respond
Favorite Play
On behalf of everyone at Woolly Mammoth, I want to express how honored we are by the audience choice award for Aaron Posner’s STUPID FUCKING BIRD. When we committed to this play it was a rough draft (albeit a thrilling one), and with the generosity of Woolly’s “Free the Beast” donors we were able to support a year-long developmental process for Aaron and a great team of designers and actors. It’s very gratifying to know how enthusiastically audiences responded once all the pieces came together, and this encourages us to continue investing in off-the-assembly-line artistic steps in the future. I want to congratulate Aaron and all the artists involved in STUPID FUCKING BIRD and thank DC Theatre Scene and its readers.
Mark A. Rhea, Producing Artistic Director of Keegan Theatre, Cabaret
Favorite Musical
On behalf of The Keegan Theatre, directors Christina A. Coakley and Michael Innocenti, as well as the entire cast and crew of CABARET, we are honored to have received the Audience Choice Award for Favorite Musical. Congratulations to all 11 Keegan nominees. In addition, we are thrilled and extremely proud of Paul Scanlan and Maria Rizzo for winning Favorite Actor and Actress in a Musical! Thank you!
Favorite Actor in a Musical
I wake up in the morning and have the honor of going to work as an actor in Washington DC everyday. I have wonderful friends and talented colleagues that share the stage and rehearsal rooms with me. I hope everyone knows by now this business is not for the timid or the faint of heart. The creatives and producers, artists and designers, stage managers and interns and above all the audiences are the reason I get up everyday and am able to live my dream. It is not often we, as actors, get an honor bestowed upon us and I want you to know how grateful I am for Metrostage, Jacques Brel and the chance to type these words. Thank you to everyone in Washington Theatre for such a vibrant arts community!! PS: I taught Paul Scanlan everything he knows.
Favorite Actor in a Play
I am so humbled by and appreciative; of all the audience choice voters that came out to support the DC theatre community. As an actor who got his start in DC, it means a great deal to me to be acknowledged in a community of colleagues and friends. I would have nothing if I didn’t have Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili behind me. At Synetic, they have pushed me to extremes I would have never been able to achieve; I credit my success to the rigorous and relentless demands they put on me as an Actor. Acting being the emphasis.
Favorite Actress in a Play
Oh my gosh. How lovely! Truly? Wow, Lorraine, how generous of the DTS audience to see in this play what we so loved about it and to recognize my own work within it in this extraordinary way. Such a beautiful script and top drawer company of actors. To be onstage with Helen [Hedley] and Paul [Morella] is to know honesty and true scene partnering. And to be directed by the thoughtful John Vreeke is to know trust and insightful guidance. I was so blessed to be able to perform the role of Myra and have the opportunity to say her words and carry her story night after night. I’m so grateful for Carolyn Griffith’s and Chris Banks’ unwavering belief in this beautiful play (and me). Grateful, too, for this outpouring of response and love from the DC theatre goers and the DC Theatre Scene readers. Thank you for the Audience Choice Award!
Favorite Family Play
“We are delighted to have won the award for Favorite Family Show. Peter Pan and Wendy was such a fun production to direct, and I was thrilled with the talented cast and designers I had the opportunity to work with. They made it possible to have a waterfall onstage and a Tinkerbell that flitted through the audience, keeping the kids talking about the show as they walked out the door. Many of our families thoroughly enjoyed the production – we even had one family see the show 16 times! We know a show is a success when kids (and parents) sing the songs (“I am the Pan!”) on the way to the car. We heard lots of crowing, too! Thank you to everyone who came out to see the show this summer!”
Favorite Actress in a Family Play
When l heard the news, all I could think about was how blessed and grateful I was to have had this beautiful experience this summer! I am so thankful to have been a part of this wonderful and unique production of Peter Pan and to have been able to work and bring this story to life with such a talented, loving, hardworking cast, crew, director, and staff at Imagination Stage. I thank you for the amazing journey to Neverland. To all the friends, family, and audience members, everyone who supported team Peter Pan and Wendy, thank you, this award would not be possible without all of you.
Jonathan Atkinson, Peter Pan and Wendy
Favorite Actor in a Family Play
Thank you so much to Imagination Stage and to Kate Bryer for the opportunity to play Peter Pan. I can’t think of a better team to have worked with all summer long. It was a true pleasure!
Favorite Ensemble
On behalf of the cast of Synetic’s Tempest, I would like to say it is truly an honor to be recognized in the Ensemble Category among so many amazingly talented casts. There are a great number of people to thank, so please forgive us for any omissions owing to my oversight. First, and most importantly, we would like to thank Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili for always trusting us and our abilities on stage, and for challenging and pushing us in ways that make us grow as a company and performers. Thank you, Synetic crew and staff, current and former, for your dedication and your tireless efforts, without which we would never make it to stage. A special thank you to Arlington County, Crystal City Bid, Synetic Donors, and Synetic Board Members for all your guidance and support. Thank you, the Synetic fans and especially volunteers for your continued support. And finally thank you DC Theatre Scene for your steadfast, enthusiastic promotion of the greater DC performing arts.

Voting by individual ballot is open to everyone.

Selection criteria:
All professional productions in the greater Washington DC area
produced between August 1, 2012 and July 31, 2013 were considered.
It is the 26TH of August, and I would like to know how to find out the results of the voting. Can you please tell me where to go to find the results? Thanks so very much!
Irina Koval was AMAAAAZING!
Aundi Marie Moore was outstanding in the role of Mohammad Ali’s mother, Odessa Clay in “Approaching Ali”. She truly depicted a loving, patient, compassionate mother who dearly cared for Mohammad Ali when his boxing career was over. Her voice was simply magnificent and left you yearning to hear more. In addition, she added lots of humor as she participated in the jokes that Ali played on his house guest. I am hopeful that the public school system could also use this new opera as a tool for helping students who are bullied or taunted see that there is a way out. The entire cast was superb and “Approaching Ali” deserves a
5 Star rating!!
Irons Koval as best actress in a play, Salome Scena Theatre
two more comments we love:
– This was a fine season with lots of really good productions. Some of the smaller theaters are doing very fine work and some of the larger ones are stretching themselves to higher degrees. We are fortunate to live in this great theater town.
– Wow, what riches we have in our fair city!
Voting ends tonight for round 1. last calls: 7pm to register. midnight to vote.
Audience Choice voters are invited to leave comments after voting. Here are some favorites:
– This is a fine way to involve theater goers in honing their discernment skills about performers and playwrights.
– I would like to know if you divide the number of votes by the maximum possible audience (times no. of days) to control for the relative size of the theaters and their potential to garner votes. You should.
– Director, Choreographer why no category for these hard working folks?
– For the first round of voting, it would be nice to be able to pick 3 favorites in each category and then limit the choice to one per category in the finals. Having separate categories for lead and featured performances would be nice too. Love the site!
– This is such a wonderful way to show how much we appreciate the outstanding performances that the artist bring to DC. (several comments like this)
Don’t forget. Voting closes at Registration closes Sunday night at 7pm. Voting closes Sunday night at midnight.
I vote for Jacques Brel at MetroStage, undoubtedly the winner.
Jacques Brel at Metrostage is the clear winner!
