2009 THEATRE RECOGNITION AWARDS
The following are our second annual AALM Recognition Awards (in no particular order). These are non-traditional awards that we give to people/theatre companies who by virtue of their talent, hard work, professionalism, and/or personality provide special POSITIVE contributions to the theatre community in Charlotte. We often forget to encourage and thank theatre people for all they do. So we hope these awards make you smile with recognition.
