INLAND THEATRE LEAGUE AWARDS
INLAND THEATRE LEAGUE AWARDS
The Inland Theatre League started in 1975 and was the brainchild of T.E. Foreman, resident theatre reviewer for the then Daily Enterprise and The Press, the Riverside newspaper. As a member of the Los Angeles Critics’ Circle, T.E. was among the Critics awarding theatre participants in Southern California each year for outstanding professional work.
The ITL has a number of judges whose job is to view at least 10 productions each year and to nominate candidates for its Certificate of Excellence. The League currently has thirty-nine member theatres covering most of the Inland Empire.
The annual Inland Theatre League season begins January 1 and ends December 31 each year. Nominees are announced to the public in February of the following year and the Awards Presentation is held in the Spring and ITL members provide entertainment.
Special awards are also presented to individuals and/or groups, which have helped local theatres.
