Alec Mapa and Parvesh Cheena to Present at First Ever STAGE RAW AWARDS Next Month
Because we weren't content to leave our vibrant theater community without accolades for the first time in 36 years, STAGE RAW is pleased to announce the FIRST ANNUAL STAGE RAW LOS ANGELES THEATER AWARDS, Monday, April 13, 2015. We champion the best work of 2014 in L.A.'s now embattled theaters of up to 99-seats. (STAGE RAW is using the same jury that was assembled through 2014 for the now dearly departed LA WEEKLY Theater Awards.)
Show hosts CELEBRATION THEATER announce the super talented comedians ALEC MAPA and PARVESH CHEENA will be presenting.
Join us at the Los Angeles Theatre Center for a 1940s-style cocktail party, with Jazz from special musical guests, Static Trio +, a pre-show hosted bar and fortifying tasty treats after the awards have been given. Join us for a night of elegance and irreverence for the 99-Seat Theater Plan! Find this year's nominees here: stageraw.com/2015/03/13/stage-raw-theater-awards/.
The STAGE RAW Los Angeles Theater Awards take place Monday, April 13 at Los Angeles Theatre Center, 514 S. Spring Street (Doors Open at 6:30 for Cocktails; Awards Program begins at 7:30pm); Tickets are $25, available at web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe/9992351.
THE STAGE RAW THEATER AWARDS are dedicated to honoring the swath of innovative works of theater in Los Angeles County, in venues of up-to-99-seats. These are works that for any number of reasons, can't or don't typically get produced in larger theaters. When they do, it's often because they've been incubated in the smaller theaters; that very incubation is the focus of Stage Raw and its theater awards.
STAGE RAW is an evolving digital experiment, a virtual laboratory for what new arts journalism can be. Its mission is to fuse interactive, innovative means to bring new life into the medium. Of course, StageRaw.com reviews arts events, nudging audiences toward the best of them. However, we also create exclusive video and podcast features, documentaries on our most cherished arts institutions, and, with our Citizen Raw section, engage people in their 20s and 30s for content, juxtaposed with contributions by seasoned journalists.
