Past Seasons and Elly Award Nominations

The annual Elly Awards honor outstanding achievements of community theaters and artists in the Sacramento area. The awards are given out by the Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance, which is an alliance of producing organizations, individual theatre artists and technicians, and administrators in the Sacramento area and neighboring regions. Elly judges use a standardized point scale to evaluate an array of production elements. The Elly season begins July 1 and ends June 30. Elly Award nominations are announced at a Nominees' Reception in August. The Elly Awards Ceremony is held in September. See the SARTA website for more information.
