The New York Independent Theater Awards celebrate the impact of NYC’s diverse and groundbreaking indie theater artists. The NYIT Honorary Awards Ceremony serves as an annual Homecoming for Indie Theater Artists working across all five boroughs of New York City, providing an opportunity for cross-pollination, inspiration and community.
“While we never articulate a theme or an agenda for the Honorees in any given year,” says Aimee Todoroff, Managing Director of the League of Independent Theater, “we quickly noticed a common passion for telling stories that are vital, immediate, and often overlooked. Each of these Honorees is dedicated to making revolutionary storytelling accessible to audiences that need to see themselves reflected in the art.”
We’d like to also highlight our finalists this year, who illustrate just how much talent there is in New York’s Indie theater scene. For the Caffe Cino award: Rising Sun Performance Company, and The Anthropologists. For the Everett Quinton award: Duncan Pflaster, Gian Marco Lo Forte, and Azure D. Osbourn-Lee. For the Ellen Stewart award: Pioneers Go East Collective, and EPIC Players. For the Artistic Achievement award: Susane Lee of Hudson Classical Theater Company, and Catherine Filloux. For Outstanding Stage Management: Allison Raines and Madeleine Blossom. For the Indie Theater Champion award: Ashley Garrett, and Gi60 International One Minute Theatre Festival.
The League of Independent Theater is proud to be able to share the work of these outstanding folks, and that we hope people will help us highlight other inspirational people when we open submissions for next year’s New York Independent Theater Honorary Awards in January 2025.
