EMAV presents the 5th Annual Las Vegas Valley Theatre Awards: And the nominees are...
There is a lot to celebrate about the 2017/2018 Las Vegas Theatre Season, and it's almost time to come together and do just that! Jacob Coakley founded the Las Vegas Valley Theatre Award program in 2013, in order to help the community identify and promote the best of locally-produced Las Vegas theatre. The Valley Awards were acquired by EatMoreArtVegas.com in 2017, and with thanks to the over 50 year-round volunteer judges from the community, we are pleased to announce the nominees!
The Valley Theatre Awards show honoring 22 categories of achievement will take place Monday, July 16th at Starbright Theatre in Sun City Summerlin, and is open to the public.
