The mysterious, anonymous, adventurous group of theatergoers known as the Orgie Theatre Award committee just announced its fourth-annual slate of honorees. Here's the list:
Greg Allen/Jay Torrence/Ensemble (Artistic Direction) Neo-Futurists
As Told by the Vivian Girls (Overall Production) Dog & Pony
David Cromer (Acting) Our Town The Hypocrites
Jennifer Engstrom (Acting) Fatboy A Red Orchid Theatre
The Malady of Death (Overall Production) Rooms Productions
Coya Paz & Tanya Saracho (Artistic Direction) Teatro Luna
Shawn Reddy (Playwriting) The Great Galvani Curious Theatre Branch - 2008 Rhino Fest
Will Schutz (Acting) The Birthday Party Signal Ensemble
Stacy Stoltz (Acting) Miss Julie The Hypocrites
Special Acknowledgements (no kash, just kudos):
Goodman Theatre’s Latino Festival 08 for hosting inspired works such as Marta Carrasco’s J'ARRIVE...!
MCA Stage 08 for bringing exhilarating theatre like Elevator Repair Service’s GATZ to Chicago.
Winners of the Orgie Theatre Award will each receive a sealed award certificate and one hundred dollars.
I didn't see the Rooms or Curious shows, but I couldn't agree more with all the rest. And I particularly like that the committee chose this year to recognize artistic direction.
