More than 100 local and national theatre artists representing more than 40 San Diego theatrical productions at a dozen local theatres have been nominated for 2011 Craig Noel Awards, the San Diego Theatre Critics Circle announced last week. The annual awards, which honor artistic excellence and outstanding achievements in San Diego theatre, are named for the late Craig Noel, founder and longtime artistic director of the Old Globe.
The 10th annual awards ceremony will take place from 6-10pm on Monday, February 6, 2012 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla.
