The Cleveland Theater Collective announced five awards for theater 
achievement at its third annual benefit the evening of June 16, 2003.  Formed in 2000 to 
promote the professional development of Cleveland area theater artists, the 
Cleveland Theater Collective initiated the awards this year as a way to 
celebrate and validate excellence in local theater.  

The five awards were presented to:  

Cleveland Public Theatre for producing Blue Sky Transmission, directed by 
Raymond Bobgan, in Cleveland and New York;
Cleveland Public Theatre for initiating the Big Box Series, a program that 
allowed artists the space to experiment; 
Charles Fee for leading the revitalization of Great Lakes Theater Festival;
Sarah Morton, for her tireless work in initiating Artists for Peace;
Fred Sternfeld for initiating and maintaining NEOhioPAL, the Northeast Ohio 
Performing Arts List, an internet broadcast system that reaches more than 2,000 
theater practitioners in northeast Ohio.  

CTC received almost 100 nominations for more than 60 individual and ensemble 
achievements.  Nominations were solicited through the NEOhioPAL list, and 
members of the Cleveland Theater Collective voted for their top five choices.  The 
awards were presented during the Cleveland Theater Collective's annual 
benefit, which raises money for theater artist stipends.
