Nominees for The Stage Awards announced

The nominees have been announced for The Stage Awards, recognising organisations, venues and individuals who have gone above and beyond during the last 12 months.
Alistair Smith, editor of The Stage said: "It has been an extraordinary year for British theatre and, appropriately, it has resulted in an extraordinary shortlist of nominees.
"All our judging panel commented on how impressed they were by the submissions we received and we all came away buoyed by the sheer quality, scale and variety of the work that is being produced by companies and individuals at all scales and across the country.
"We were particularly impressed by the submissions for our new Community Project of the Year award, so much so that we have named an extended shortlist of nominees. Truthfully, it could have been twice as long again and still not fully encompassed all the great work that theatre is doing in this often-overlooked area."
The winners will be revealed on January 31, 2022 at a ceremony at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London.
