"We've held the Awards in San Francisco for years, and the East Bay is past due," said Theatre Critics Circle President Barry Willis. "Award Galas can get tedious, so Vice President Linda Ayres-Frederick came up with the idea of a dance party," Willis said. "If you draw a line from north to south and east to west through the nine Bay Area counties we serve, the nexus falls in Oakland. And we found this true gem of a venue called the California Ballroom in the safe and accessible downtown business district of Oakland a half block from 19th St. BART with lots of street parking around, so everything fell into place!" Willis commented.
The SF/Bay Area THEATRE CRITICS CIRCLE 2012 AWARDS will happen on MONDAY MAY 6, at their "Gala Theatre Awards & Dance Party". For the first time in the East Bay, the venue for the Gala will be the California Ballroom, 1736 Franklin St., Oakland.
