The Ovation Awards were a Southern California award for excellence in theatre,[1] established in 1989.[2] They were given out by the non-profit arts service organization LA Stage Alliance and are the only peer-judged theatre awards in Los Angeles. Winners were selected by a voting committee of Los Angeles–area theater professionals who are selected through an application process every year.[3] The Ovation Awards ceremony was held at different theatres throughout the Los Angeles area, including the Ahmanson Theatre and the Orpheum Theatre.[4] Hosts for the ceremonies have included Nathan Lane,[5] Lily Tomlin,[6] and Neil Patrick Harris.[7]
