The LA Stage Alliance Ovation Awards are the only peer-judged theatre awards in Los Angeles.
Labeled the "...highest-profile contest for local theatre..." by the Los Angeles Times, the Ovation Awards presents an opportunity for the theatre community to join together and focus public attention on our city’s rich and lively performing arts scene.
Another goal of the program is to draw national attention to the quality and quantity of professional theatre in Los Angeles.
