It's not difficult to see how hard these decisions were for me. For the first time ever, I am posting a TIE. You will see that two distinguished, talented, and hard working actresses have won the award for Best Actress, Drama, Small Companies. They are NOT sharing this award. They are both, individually, receiving a Best Actress Award in this category.
I decided that a TIE was the only possible outcome here for a couple of reasons. First, it's a two woman show; both are central, critical, and essential to the story being told. Second, their onstage relationship (mother and daughter) cruelly ties each of them to the other's fate. Most importantly, one cannot separate one from the other; both performances are intertwined, and both performances were off the charts. Congratulations to both of you. There is no question in my mind that you changed some lives.
As I have mentioned in my other posts, actors, actresses, production crew, companies, please feel free to reproduce the certificates below, with one restriction. Please do not make any changes to the text. If you need something corrected (misspelling, typos, etc), please contact me at bilweeler@gmail.com. I will make those corrections and provide you with a new certificate.
For those who want a high resolution version to print on photo paper, please contact me. I will need your email address to get you the hi res file. I can get it to you using dropbox.com or via email.
I have had a couple of questions about the photos at the top of my Bill's Best posts. I took them. I thought I would share some of them, if only because there's little I can do to give back to all the people who make theater magic. So the pix are all from 2015, and they are some of my favorites. Today's photo is from Bodiam Castle, East Sussex, UK.
Finally, thank you to all (not just the nominees and winners) in the Colorado theater community for your hard work, dedication, and high quality productions. Everywhere I go, I am constantly amazed by what you do. You make your community a better place, and for that reason, you are all winners.
