The South Florida Theatre League Announces the 2019 Remy Awards

The South Florida Theatre League is announcing the return of the Remy Awards in 2019. The Remy Awards, named in honor of Remberto Cabrera, the former Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs' Senior Cultural Administrator and Chief of Cultural Development, are given to the unsung heroes who provide outstanding service behind the scenes of the South Florida Theatre League Community.

For 2019, the Awards will be presented as part of an evening fundraiser for the South Florida Theatre League at ArtServe in Fort Lauderdale. The evening will begin with a reception, where industry members and audience members can mingle and enjoy light refreshments and partake in a silent auction. The evening will progress with integrated performances and awards presentations. The performers will be selected by winners of the awards, to further honor their contributions.

The 2019 Remy Awards will conclude Summer Theatre Fest on August 26, 2019 at 7:30 PM at ArtServe in Fort Lauderdale.

The Remy Awards have been a part of the South Florida Theatre League since its first year (1994) - with the Service Award dedicated to those who have provided outstanding service to the League and the Pioneer Award dedicated to those who have changed the landscape of South Florida Theatre. In 2014 the Board of the League made the decision to increase the number of categories to honor the breadth of those in our community whose contributions are often overlooked.

Tickets for the 2019 Remy Awards event are $10 and are available here: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/1016024

ArtServe is located at 1350 E Sunrise Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304.

The South Florida Theatre League is an alliance of theatrical organizations and professionals dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and advocating for the growth and prestige of the South Florida theatre industry.
