The Theatre Awards are in association with the ALPD and the ABTT and are sponsored by
Chauvet Professional, Elation, ETC, Fix8Group, GLP, SLX, TSL and VARI-LITE.
“The Theatre section of the Profile Awards is judged by eight of the UK’s leading theatre, dance and opera critics. Every single new production we see is automatically eligible for consideration, each judge may see around two hundred shows over the year so that is a significant amount of work that gets covered.”
