Innovative Theatre Now Accepting Applications for Honorary Awards

Last year's 2010 Caffe Cino Fellowship Award was presented to the New York Neo-Futurists, recognizing their commitment to the community and for consistently producing outstanding work. "We were ecstatic about receiving the Caffe Cino Fellowship Award. We are honored to be in such groundbreaking company as the previous recipients. The IT Awards are so affirming and celebratory for the independent theater community that we are a part of," said Rob Neill, Managing Director of the New York Neo-Futurists. "We love going to the events and they are some of the few times during the year where we can see and connect with so many of our fellow artists. I feel that recognition of the quality of work from the IT Awards is invaluable for all of the theater companies like the New York Neo-Futurists." 

The Honorary Awards are selected by a committee, which is comprised of people deeply grounded in the Off-Off-Broadway community. A complete list of committee members is available on the IT Awards website at: www.nyitawards.com/aboutus/hac.asp. 

Over the past six years, the IT Awards has honored over 1,000 individual artists, over 350 productions, and 250 theatre companies.

The Honorary Awards are:
* The Artistic Achievement Award, presented to an individual who has made a significant artistic contribution to the Off-Off-Broadway community; 

* The Stewardship Award, presented to an individual or organization demonstrating a significant contribution to the Off-Off-Broadway community through service, support and leadership; 

* The Caffe Cino Fellowship Award, presented to an Off-Off-Broadway theatre company that consistently produces outstanding work. This award also includes a grant ($1,000-$5,000) to be used toward an Off-Off-Broadway production.
