2024 Accolades
Huge congratulations to our performers and designers, receiving a whopping 17 Orlando Theater Best of 2024 nominations and 4 Critic’s Picks from the Orlando Sentinel for our 2024 season!

Brent Jordan
FEATURED ACTOR, DRAMA
Critic’s Pick
To Kill a Mockingbird
The very definition of “quiet nobility” as falsely accused Tom Robinson in Theater West End’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Brent Jordan exquisitely showed the audience Tom’s confidence in his own innocence, the flicker of confusion why people won’t understand he is capable of doing a good deed, and the flame of knowledge that a Black man in a white woman’s house is in a precarious situation. Jordan was also the Critic’s Pick in this category last year, honored for his performance in Orlando Shakes’ “Boulevard of Bold Dreams.”- Matt Palm, Orlando Sentinel

Cynthia Beckert
FEATURED ACTOR, COMEDY
Critic’s Pick
Steel MagnoliasCynthia Beckert delighted as a deeper-than-usual Clairee in Theater West End’s February production of “Steel Magnolias.” She expertly peeled away the obvious outer layers of Clairee — refined, sophisticated, sharp as a tack — to show us the blossoming of a woman coming into her own after the death of her husband. And she did it with a sly delivery that made the laughs even louder.
