17th Annual Richmond Theatre Community Circle Awards (Artsies)

This black-tie, red-carpet event at the Sara Belle and Neil November Theatre recognizes excellence in Richmond-area theater. Tickets are $25 for orchestra seating and $30 for balcony seating and will go on sale September 21 through Virginia Rep at va-rep.org or (804) 282-2620. Get your tickets early – ticket prices go up by $5 on October 5. Event proceeds benefit the Richmond Theatre Artist Fund.

The theme of this year’s event – “At This Performance” – highlights the many actors other than a production’s principals (such as understudies, swings, and standbys) without whom the show would not go on. They work hard and prepare to step in at a moment’s notice, ensuring a smooth run when things go awry. Our event hosts are Rachel Garmon-Williams and Travis Williams.
