2020 Harry and Martha Cohen Award Nomination Form
Since 1984, Alberta Theatre Projects has been proud to partner with the Cohen family to present The Harry and Martha Cohen Award for sustained and significant contribution to theatre in Calgary.
Do you know someone who is an inspiration in our theatre community in Calgary?
Is there someone who continually inspires you? Does this person set the bar in terms of their passion and commitment to our theatrical community in Calgary? Do they ALWAYS go above and beyond; mentor, coach, etc.? This person may be a leader onstage, offstage or backstage; an actor, director, playwright, designer, administrator, philanthropist, dramaturge, manager, teacher, technician or volunteer.
Do you want them to know how vital their contribution is and how deeply they are appreciated?
We will gather to celebrate the 2020 winner of the Harry & Martha Cohen Awards winner on Monday, April 27th, 2020. The award ceremony will take place in the Lobby of the Martha Cohen Theatre from 5 pm – 7:30pm. At that ceremony the recipient will be honoured with a cash prize of $1500 and a framed certificate. Additionally, the recipient’s name will be added to the list of our past honourees and inscribed on a scroll that hangs in our lobby in Martha’s Corner.
