Pride Films and Plays to Host Nominee Night at Sidetrack, 5/17

Chicago's best musical theatre performers gather for one night only on the same stage when the 2016 Jeff Award Nominees are honored at Nominee Night, May 17 at 7PM at Sidetrack Video Bar in Lake View, Chicago.

Pride Films and Plays is partnering with Chicago's own Buzz On Stage to bring you an exciting evening showcasing musical performances from the Best Actors and Actresses, and Best Supporting Actors and Actresses nominated for the 2015/16 Non-Equity Joseph Jefferson ("Jeff") Awards.

All proceeds from the evening benefit the New Musical Initiative at Pride Films and Plays, including the upcoming free workshop of Adam Mathias and Jonathan Monro's A History of Summer, the story of Fire Island, at Theatre Wit on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 28 and 29, 2016.

While it is too early to know which performers will be nominated, last year's Nominee Night featured nominees from Bailiwick Chicago, BoHo Theatre, Kokandy Productions, Pride Films and Plays, Signal Ensemble Theatre, Theo Ubique Cabaret Theatre and many others.

Doors open at 6:30PM, with a musical program from 7:00PM to 8:30PM. General Admission tickets are $20. VIP tickets are available for $30 and include reserved seating and program recognition (if purchased by May 12).

Tickets can be purchased online at www.BuzzOnStage.com/nominee-night, or just search for "Nominee Night".

Door prize tickets will be available for purchase in person and at www.buzzonstage.com for a chance to win prizes such as theatre tickets, a sunset cruise on Lake Michigan and more.

Sidetrack Video Bar is at 3349 N Halsted St., in Lake View, Chicago. For more information, please call 800-737-0984 or visit www.pridefilmsandplays.com.
