The 2014 Marlowe Awards
It's a
humbling task to attempt to choose the best performances and the best technical
achievements of the Denver Theatre Community in 2014.
Getting a production
from page to stage is a daunting task. The collaborative nature of every
endeavor to produce a play requires a network of artists, many of whom are
unseen and unsung. This reviewer would like to express gratitude to each and
all who helped make this past year the artistic triumph that it was.
Since
there was so much outstanding work done this past year, this reviewer has
listed the top three in each category.
