      • The Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards recognise outstanding achievements in Irish theatre.


      History


      The awards were founded in 1997 by The Irish Times. Awards were established in numerous categories, ranging from design, to acting, to overall production. The goal was to promote adventuresome theatre, both in the Republic and in Northern Ireland.


      Description


      In addition to the awards for specific excellence, the judges also present a special award for leadership in the overall community.
      The nominations are announced every January and the awards are presented the following month in a prominent invitation-only ceremony. In 2022, the nominations for 2021 will be announced in May and the ceremony will take place early in the summer.
