Each year a volunteer judging panel of theatre professionals, educators and aficionados sees plays and musicals submitted for consideration by qualifying professional theatres in the Atlanta metro area. Each fall, The Suzi Bass Awards announces a slate of Nominees based on judges’ votes. The judges then vote a separate ballot of Nominees, and the Suzi Award recipients are announced at a gala event in November. Guidelines are revised each year, if necessary, and judging panels are reconstituted each summer for the following season. See the FAQ page for more information, or submit your own question to us by emailing SuziAwards@comcast.net.
