The Citations Wing of the Joseph Jefferson Awards Committee presented 31 Citations in 15 categories June 10 at the 29th annual Citations Awards celebration, honoring non union theatrical events and artists from 2001-2002.
TimeLine Theatre Company and Shattered Globe Theatre led Chicago's non-union companies in Citations, taking home five awards each.
Outstanding Production honors were shared by The Crucible from TimeLine Theatre and Shattered Globe's production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Chagrin Falls and Rosemary were named best new works.
PerformInk, Chicago's entertainment trade paper, and its publisher, Carrie L. Kaufman, were awarded a special Jeff Citation for "nurturing and support of the Chicago theatre community and for providing an invaluable resource to actors, artists, writers, stage hands and devotees of Chicago theatre."
The Citations Wing of the Jeff Committee was created to recognize outstanding achievement in professional productions of Chicago-area theatres not operating under union contracts. During the 2001-2002 Citations season (April 1, 2001-March 31, 2002) the Jeff Committee judged 125 productions from 55 producing organizations. The committee recommended 48 productions from 30 producing organizations, and the final list of Citations nominations represents 30 productions from 25 companies.
