Today the nominees for the 34th Annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards were announced by TAPA, The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts. This year there are 13 new categories bringing the total number of awards to 48.

There are six Divisions: General Theatre, Independent Theatre, Dance, Musical Theatre, Opera, (some award categories for these two are combined) and Theatre for Young Audiences. There is also an Award for Outstanding Touring Production, which crosses the Divisions.

Highlights include 15 nominations for Buddies in Bad Times Theatre for their productions of Obaaberima and Arigato, Tokyo, the Tarragon Theatre with 13 nominations, Roseneath Theatre with 8 nominations in the Theatre for Young Audiences Division, and for individual designers, several with more than one nomination for Outstanding Design in more than one division. It is clear that Toronto has some seriously talented designers.

Among the names of the people who have been around and been nominated previously are young emerging artists. It is wonderful that the jury recognize their talent and contribution to the arts.


Also announced today are the recipients of the Pauline McGibbon Award, (to honour a member of the professional theatre community who has displayed excellence in their craft in the early stages of their career), The Leonard McHardy and John Harvey Award (awarded to an individual who has contributed for more than 10 years as an administrator for the performing arts), and the George Luscombe Award for Mentorship. The Pauline McGibbon Award went to Ryan Wilson, Head Scenic Carpenter at Young People’s Theatre, and freelance Production Manager and Technical Director for Fu-Gen Theatre. The LMJH Award was given to Paul Templin, the Director of Events for Hart House Theatre and the University of Toronto, for the impact he has made there. The George Luscombe Award for Mentorship was awarded to Franco Boni, the General and Artistic Director of The Theatre Centre, who has mentored numerous artists in the community.
