it all the more wrong that this production wasn't recognized in any way. The show garnered great reviews from both the Weekly and BSW and the attention of the national media in The Week news magazine.

Whre can I view the list of winners for 2009 LA Weekly awards? So many great nominees.

Unbelievably, LA Weekly completely overlooked Theatre Neo's production of Lee Blessing's "Fortinbras" which not only received a "GO" and glowing review from your paper, singling out the direction of Maria Cominis, Tina Zarro's costumes and "stand out" performances by Dagney Kerr and A.K. Raymond but also "Pick of the Week" from the LA Times. Too bad it got lost in the shuffle.

In looking at the nominees for this years LA Weekly Theatre Awards, I am glad to see the nominations for "Louis and Keely-Live at The Sahara", but whats up with only 2 nominees for Female Comedy Performance? There were only 2 female comedy performances in all of L.A. theatre last year that deserved at least a nomination? I feel one show was very much neglected by the Selection Committee. ARK's production of Edward Ravenscrofts "The London Cuckolds" was the Revival of the Year. Period. The fact that it wasn't a 20th or 21st century work is the only thing that keeps it from being nominated. The fact that the play had never been done professionally in the U.S. makes it all the more wrong that this production wasn't recognized in any way. The show garnered great reviews from both the Weekly and BSW and the attention of the national media in The Week news magazine. Richard Tatum adapted the long, rambling play into a fast-moving comic gem and directed his cast ably. The show deserved at least nominations for Ensemble, Costumes, and for Tatums direction and adaptation, and if you don't believe me, (or think I'm biased because...yes, I was in it) find the "GO" review for it in the Weekly here online or in BSW when it opened. Also, I thought the ensemble performance and the leads Jim Hanna and Don Stewart in "Spatter Pattern" at ARK deserved some recognition as well. I'm very glad to see the Career Achievement Award for Dakin Matthews- he truly deserves it. Should be a great night with Broder and Smith hosting and backed up by the remarkable musicians in that cast as well. Congrats to all the nominees, especially Pat Towne, Scott Leggett, Michael Franco, John Sylvain, Broder and Smith. And if you're reading this and in Minneapolis/St. Paul in the next 2 weeks-come see me as Charlie Baker in "The Foreigner" at the Lyric Arts Stage in Anoka. Have fun at the Awards ceremony everyone-wish I could be there.
