The 20 awards were distributed among 10 local theaters, from small Roustabouts Theatre Co. to the Old Globe and La Jolla Playhouse. The one theater that earned the most awards was CCAE Theatricals, which earned a combined four awards for its inaugural season last year at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido.CCAE’s world premiere musical “Witnesses,” about five teen Jewish diarists who died at Nazi hands during World War II, won the evening’s overall prize, Outstanding New Production.
The 2022 Actors of the Year awards went to Megan Carmitchel and Berto Fernández. Fernández appeared in five productions last year, including San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Catch Me If You Can” and “In the Heights,” Moonlight Stage Productions’ “Ragtime” and “Kinky Boots” and the Old Globe’s “Grinch” musical.
Kevin “Blax” Burroughs received the Outstanding Specialty Artist prize for his jam-packed 2022 resume. Last year he was lighting designer for eight productions; director/choreographer for two musicals; he played the Lion in Teatro San Diego’s “The Wiz” and played Bobby in “Memphis” at Moonlight. He also performed his cabaret-style solo show, “Black Boy Joy” at Diversionary’s Clark Cabaret.
