The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA) has announced the 42nd Annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards will be held at the legendary Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre Centre (EWGTC) in Toronto on Monday, September 19, 2022.

Following last season’s cancellation of the Dora Awards ceremony, prompted by no in person productions for 2020-2021, TAPA will welcome a return to in-person on-stage award presentations for 2021-2022.

Today, TAPA Executive Director Jacoba Knaapen announced that the 2021 Dora Mavor Moore Ancillary Awards will go forward in celebration of the city’s performing arts community and its hard work and resiliency in the face of immense difficulties over this past pandemic season.

Design Star: Next Gen, the new high-stakes, edge-of-your-seat competition series inspired by HGTV Design Star, is ready for air and, with $50,000 cash and a shot at their own show on the line, one breakout renovation and design expert’s life is about to go supernova.

The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts today announced the VIP presenters, special guests and theme for the 41st annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards which, for the very first time due to the restrictions in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic, are being held virtually.

At an online media announcement - pre-taped in front of Meridian Hall with physically distanced protocols in place - streamed June 8 on the Dora Awards YouTube channel, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA) announced 243 nominations for the 41st annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards.

The annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards, produced by the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA), celebrate excellence in the city's performing arts sector for professional theatre, dance and opera.

At a press conference held May 31 in the lobby of the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA)announced 237 nominations for the 39th Annual Dora Mavor Moore Awards, which recognize excellence in the performing arts in Toronto.

At a press conference held today at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA) announced a major change to performance categories for the Dora Mavor Moore Awards that will be implemented for next year's 40th Anniversary Dora Mavor Moore Awards in June 2019.

The 2013 Dora Awards took place in Toronto on Monday June 25th at The St Lawrence Centre for the Arts. To accommodate demand, the Bluma theatre was also opened up for guests and the awards were live-streamed via 'Doratron'. As in previous years, there was a glamorous VIP ceremony pre-show followed by a post show street party that closed down Front Street. A record number of Doras were given out, with Young People's Theatre's CINDERELLA the runaway hit of the evening with seven awards. BWW is thrilled readers photos from the evening.
