The Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance announced nominations for this year’s Elly Awards, on August 3. City College’s City Theatre brought home 11 nominations for the 2013-2014 school year’s theatrical productions, including a nomination for Best Overall Production in a Comedy for “Scapino!”
“City Theatre does really great theater, and it’s great that it’s been acknowledged by the nomination committee,” said Nancy Pipkin, who received a nomination for her costume design in “Scapino!” “Many of the things [City Theatre] produced this year were very worthy of consideration, and we feel very honored that our work was recognized.”
Named in honor of Eleanor McClatchy—late publisher of the Sacramento Bee and renowned arts lover—the Elly Awards are the Sacramento Area equivalent to the Tony Awards. Much like the Tony Awards, the Elly Awards recognize all aspects of theatrical production, from the actors on the stage to the designers and technicians behind the scenes.
This year, there are 438 nominations for 88 awards. The winners will be announced at 7 p.m. September 21 at the Red Lion Inn in Sacramento.
Larry Russ, the Elly judge coordinator and score tabulator was impressed at the overall production values in Sacramento area theaters.
“Seventy-five percent of the participating theaters got nominations, and that really speaks to the high quality of Sacramento theater,” he said in his closing remarks at the nomination party.
