The Suzi Bass Awards

Celebrating Atlanta’s Professional Theatres

2005/2006 Season

The first full judging season ran September 1, 2005 through July 31, 2006, and it was quite a ride.  Suzi Recommending Judges saw over 60 openings, and Panel Judges diligently attended Suzi Recommended (now “Suzi Eligible”) productions throughout the year.
