1st Annual Artie Awards: 1990-1991
Date: May 13, 1991
Location: Garvey’s Restaurant
Hosts: Anthony Chase & Mary Kate O’Connell
The 1st Annual Artie Awards was a very different affair than most later ceremonies.
There were a total of 17 awards given out that evening, including two now-defunct categories: Graphic Design (this being the only year it was presented) and Outstanding Season.
Several categories did not exist as of yet: Supporting Actor in a Musical, Supporting Actress in a Musical & Choreography.
A general Ensemble award was given this year – there weren’t separate categories for Musicals & Plays.
The published nominee list at the time did not list theatres for the Ensemble award and certain theatres (buildings) were listed as opposed to companies themselves.
