DOMA Theatre Co. to Sponsor Hollywood Fringe Fest's 'Best Fringe Festival Musical' Award
By: Tyler Peterson
DOMA Theatre Company has announced it will sponsor the 2013 Hollywood Fringe Festival's "Best Fringe Festival Musical" award, to be accompanied by a $1,000 check designated for further development of the winning production.
DOMA staff members will attend and rate Fringe Festival musicals in ten overall categories, including music/lyrics, book, direction, choreography and acting, as well as set, costume, lighting, sound and prop design. The highest score will determine the winning production, to be announced at the closing festivities on June 30. "We see this as a way to give back to the local theater community," says DOMA executive producer Marco Gomez. A joint venture between DOlf Ramos and Marco Gomez, DOMA has carved a name for itself by presenting large-scale, Broadway-style musicals in a small intimate setting at Hollywood's MET Theatre. DOMA's most recent production, Dreamgirls, was "Ovation Recommended" and garnered rave reviews including a Los Angeles Times "Critic's Choice." The company's five-play, all musical 2012 season received critical acclaim for productions of The Who's Tommy ("Exhilarating!" - Rock Cellar Magazine), Songs for A New World ("Transformational!" - LA Splash), Jekyll & Hyde:The Musical ("Pick of the Week" - LA Weekly), Xanadu ("Another standout production" - Working Author) and Avenue Q ("Critic's Choice" - Los Angeles Times, "Ovation Recommended").
