The red carpet is OUT. The glitter is ON. The bean cans have been GOLDENIZED.

Birmingham’s finest thespians are gathering for one glorious night of celebration, questionable fashion choices, dramatic acceptance speeches, and the possibility of someone ugly-crying before they even reach the microphone.

Think Tony Awards... if the Tonys were a little scrappier, a lot campier, and the coveted trophies were lovingly crafted from super-secret bean cans and then painted gold, silver, or absolutely buried in glitter.

THE NOMINEES!

Celebrating the shows, artists, directors, designers, performers and assorted theatrical maniacs who made this season unforgettable:

• Becky Nurse of Salem

• Airness

• Appropriate

• Collective Rage

• A Midsummer Night's Dream

• Barbecue

Come for the awards, stay for the drama, stay even longer for the acceptance speeches! Leave with bragging rights that YOU WERE THERE. Tickets are limited, so grab yours before the trophies run out. Because once the bean cans are gone... THE BEAN CANS ARE GONE.
